NAO Controller Android App

A team of three Master of Science in Software Engineering students enrolled in the CPE 656/658 Software Engineering Studio course sequence have developed an app that allows an Android-based cellphone to control a NAO robot.

Key features of the app include:

• Elimination of the middleman PC-based software to create a portable demonstration system

• Tilt-based movement control

• Deadman switch to prevent unintended movement

• The ability to program movement sequences which can be saved for future use and loaded on demand

• Battery monitor that commands the NAO robot to sit before battery charge drops to unsafe level

• Video streaming to mobile device
