Abstract

This article details the development of a project that involves robotics and network communications. It consists on controlling a PhantomX Pincher AX-12 robot from Dynamixel through an app. The app was developed on the Android system and it has an intuitive and easy-to-use GUI (Graphic User Interface). The project requires an additional entity serving as an intermediary between the robot and the smartphone, which in this case is a PC. It will be in charge of communication, information processing and saving the trajectories during the teleoperation. The PC and the smartphone communicate via the UDP protocol, through an easy and simple transmission. Successful teleoperation of a simple robot was achieved, using a smartphone and a personal computer thus avoiding the costs of control acquisition and communication devices.
