Oddwerx Smartphone Robot ROS Demo with PS3 Remote

Published on Apr 10, 2012


Ever since we launched the Kickstarter for the Oddwerx everyone has asked to see more demos of the robot running ROS (Robot Operating System) from Willow Garage. In this demo, we have taken the PS3 Controller ROS node which is well known and well documented, and added the plumbing to allow the control messages, to be passed to the ROS node running on a Google Nexus-S Android smartphone, so you can drive it around.

This video tries to briefly explain how the system fits together and how easy it is, once you have a ROS setup, to allow a small, desktop, robot to take advantage of the power of ROS.
