Abstract
In the study, a tangible interface using iPhone is proposed to control a mobile robot, instead of remote control by a joystick or buttons. The robot is controlled by iPhone like a handle bar, since acceleration sensors of iPhone are used in the proposed method. The sensors measure the angles changed on the xyz coordinates of iPhone. And their sensor values are stabilized by digital filters. Bluetooth is chosen for communication between a mobile robot and iPhone. In this paper, four type methods are considered and one of the methods is selected for remote control of a mobile robot. Experimental results show that the robot is easily and conveniently controled by the tangible interface based on iPhone.
