OpenBot: Turning Smartphones into Robots
Matthias Müller,Vladlen Koltun,Matthias Müller,Vladlen Koltun
Current robots are either expensive or make significant compromises on sensory richness, computational power, and communication capabilities. We propose to leverage smartphones to equip robots with extensive sensor suites, powerful computational abilities, state-of-the-art communication channels, and access to a thriving software ecosystem. We design a small electric vehicle that costs $50 and ser...
