Abstract

This paper presents an approach to remote control a robot using smartphone. The main idea is to collect data generated by the accelerometer sensor included in the smartphone. The data are the results of moving the smartphone in direction of the axis Y and Z. Such data will be used for training two neural networks that will define the direction of the movement of the mobile robot. The outputs obtained from the neural networks will be processed to compute and plot the trajectory, which is determined by the kinematic model for a tricycle mobile robot.
