Many a hacker has put together one of those cheap $30 robot arm kits you can get in just about any store with a section labeled, “science”. London-based roboticist Evangelos Georgiou wants to offer an open-source platform for helping Arduino hobbyists take their projects mobile, thanks to a remote controlled robot called the RK-1 that combines a programmable Arduino microcontroller with apps for iPhone or Android, tank tracks, DC motors and Wi-Fi connectivity. I made something similar to this last year to control a toy robot arm. Modifying a cheap robot arm for arduino control. Bluetooth communication and accelerometer control. Chapters 3 and 4 explain the workings of two robot kits, a two- and a four-wheeled robot. Had to build up a relay board to run the motors from Arduino. You could build a robot control UI using JavaScript and HTML, and run a webbrowser to receive it on the bot, if you used something bigger than an Arduino -- say, a Raspberry Pi, or BeagleBone Black, or a Zbox -- on the bot. We've seen loads of great  This project walks you through the entire build process step by step and includes a thorough guide for creating remote control robotics. It's a project that could really help out with home hobbyists, or with education workshops and classes to get people young and old more interested in robotics. Maybe you're a teacher who wants to show students how to build devices that can move, sense, respond, and interact with the physical world. I picked up the MAKE Rovera 2WD Arduino Robot Kit the other week and have been putting it together and checking it out. Building robots that sense and interact with their environment used to be tricky.
