Abstract

Google Glass, as a representative product of wearable Android devices, provides a new way of Human Machine Interaction. In this paper, we propose a method for the control of a Surveyor mobile robot via a Google Glass. In doing it, we establish Wi-Fi communication between the Google Glass and the mobile robot, wear the Google Glass to observe robot states and its surroundings, and navigate the mobile robot through head movements detected by rotation vector sensor mounted on the Google Glass. The method allows us to completely free hands in navigating the robot without need for a computer monitor. In order to demonstrate the flexibility of the proposed method, we control the robot to go through a maze in a simulated environment via the Google Glass.
