Personality for your Robot.

So, what is PocketBot? Well, robots come in all shapes and sizes. Some do a little and some do a lot. Some take just hours to build, and some take years. But all of them require a “User Interface”.

PocketBot lets you use an Android device as your robot’s User Interface. What’s that mean? It means you can:

– Give vocal commands to your robot.

– Control your robot with a joystick on your Android phone.

– Use your robot as a telepresence device and control it with the video feed.

– Take advantage of your Android device’s gyroscope and GPS to give even more abilities to your robot.

On top of that, PocketBot is a fun, engaging UI with great features!

– Connect to ROS (Robotic Operating Ssytem) master

– Stream sensor data to ROS

– Uses social cues to engage in realistic interactions with the user.

– Bright, colorful faces and emotions.

– High-level communication skills and customizable dialogue.
