YARB robotic blimp controlled by Google Android G1 phone

„The open source Google Android G1 phone seemed like an obvious platform for wireless robotic control, so we created an Android-based console. After running this first with the ground-based Surveyor SRV-1 robot, we made a few small modifications and used it to control the Surveyor YARB. The tilt sensors in the Android phone work quite nicely for rotor control – we have proportional steering so the amount of tilt controls the amount of power, and live video is displayed on the Android screen from the blimp’s onboard Surveyor SRV-1 Blackfin camera, carried via the same radio channel that sends the control signals.
The project is hosted on Google Code at code.google.com/p/srv1console/ as well as www.surveyor.com.“
