[alife] Android Based Robotics

[noros]

Dear colleagues,

The following website and project may be of interest to many of you 
involved in robotics 
(http://www.socsci.uci.edu/~jkrichma/ABR/index.html).
It presents the promising approach of creating robotic platforms using 
Android smartphones. The website also provides a technical report, 
source code and instructions for constructing a simple Android based 
robot. It also describes applications where Android based robots could 
visually track and follow objects while avoiding obstacles, or be 
controlled by a neural network to perform reinforcement learning and 
foraging tasks.

Best Regards,
Nicolas Oros and Jeffrey Krichmar
