The RK-1 Is An Arduino-Based Mobile Robot You Control With Smartphone Swipes

climbing-rocks-at-the-Edinburgh-national-museum-960x450London-based roboticist Evangelos Georgiou wants to offer an open-source platform for helping Arduino hobbyists take their projects mobile, thanks to a remote controlled robot called the RK-1 that combines a programmable Arduino microcontroller with apps for iPhone or Android, tank tracks, DC motors and Wi-Fi connectivity. It's a project that could really help out with home hobbyists, or with education workshops and classes to get people young and old more interested in robotics.
