Project IDEA

 Self Navigational and Social Networking Robot.

OBJECTIVE

•  To make an autonomous robot with Android as its brain.The robot would run on the commands given by its owner , in speech.It would also be able to distinguish between known people and strangers, provide information on a topic in speech and visual form ( by projecting on a screen ) and carry work/entertainment with it for user convenience .

IMPLEMENTATION METHODOLOGY:

•  The robot is controlled by an Android mobile phone.Its hardware based on Arduino also has a micro controller,DC motors for movement and proximity and optical sensors.
• The robot is controlled by speech of the owner.
• The phone's camera is used to take pictures and record videos. It makes use of Facebook/Twitter APIs,internet and its own database at the server to fetch information.It uses Google Goggles to find information about anything the user wants to know from picture of any object/text.
• Information is projected on to a screen via a projector on the robot or spoken out.
• It uses OCR to identify text in image.
• It uses Android APIs for face detection.
• Speech Recognition is used to allow user to interact with the robot via simple commands and words.
• It keeps a track of its movement using GPS on the mobile and Google Earth APIs. 

APPLICATION

•  The robot serves the purpose of an intelligent/entertaining companion.It runs on the speech commands given by the owner and reponds intelligently.Output is given via a projector or in speech form.
•  It also allows integration of real and virtual world by allowing workspace to be carried into the digital world using of OCR.

• It also provides ready information to anythingvia the internet and Google Goggles 
•  It can also be used for purposes of surveilance ( to detect if there is any unknown object or person by taking its image and searching for it in its database) or spying.It can be programmed to follow any suspicious activity.
•  It will be one of the first Android supported bots in India
