Android gives eyes, ears, and a sense of direction to a Lego NXT robot

Android gives eyes, ears, and a sense of direction to a Lego NXT robot

Android powered Legobot

While some of us use our phones to communicate or play awesome games, there are those who take science and spare time to the next level.  Mike Partain is one of those people.  Using an off-the-shelf Lego NXT robotics kit, a Motorola Droid and a whole bucketful of ingenuity and smarts, Mike has added sensors the robotics kit was missing -- camera, GPS, and compass.  Hit the break to read about it in Mike's own words, a link to the source code (special thanks Mike!), and a couple videos seeing different views from the Droid's unblinking eye.
