We have already seen similar projects like the popular “ShakerRacer”, but for me it’s again and again interesting to see what can be done with the N95’s accelerometer.
I found a new video that shows how the Nokia N95 replaces a remote control and is able to control a vehicle by using intuitive motion control.
According to the tilts and turns you do with your phone, the vehicle will move. A kind of control which exposes to be very intuitive and doesn’t need any practice.
The “ShakerRacer” script was able to control a rebuilt toy car, this new video shows how a real robot, I think it’s one from ActiveMedia Robotics, can be moved using the N95’s accelerometer:
In contrast to “ShakerRacer” which used Bluetooth, the Python script which translates your movements sends data to the robot by using the N95’s Wi-Fi port.
