Control of robot arms with android smartphones that imitate human arms (Galaxy S and PandaBoard)
Robot arms are controlled by android smartphones (Galaxy S), that are connected to PandaBoard (ICS: Icecream Sandwich) through Bluetooth.
The target angles for motors are calculated by (offline) neural networks to which sensor values of Galaxy S are given.
PandaBoard send commands to motors through USB to serial converter.
