Abstract

This paper discusses the suitability of usage of smartphones running on Android operating system in robot navigation tasks. These phones are equipped with many sensors useful in robotics. Robot navigation tasks are often recommending high-performance devices (computers) to work on. Nowadays smartphones are also equipped with very powerful processors. Therefore a performance test of different devices with Android operating system including their sensorial equipment has been made to determine the usability of these devices for real-time robot navigation.
