  • How to build an Android™ Robotic Platform

    The robotic platform consists of the chassis of a R/C car, a base (perforated steel) that supports the IOIO, IR sensors, a phone holder (polystyrene foam) and an Android phone. The perforated base allows roboticists to add, remove or relocate sensors easily on the robot.
