Smartphone-Based Human Machine Interface with Application to Remote Control of Robot Arm

Abstract

In this paper we develop a wireless communication human machine interface (HMI) system, which uses a smart-phone. This HMI has some advantages over the other HMIs, such as it is small, cheap, and space sensing. It uses the accelerometer and the gyroscope of the smartphone to generate six commands to control a robot via Wi-Fi network. The experiment results show that our HMI is convenient and effective for remote control.
