Project Description
-------------------
The drawoid - android controlled robot, is controlled remotely using the Bluetooth wireless interface. The user is giving the input by drawing shapes that are recognized and captured by android device. The shapes captured by android device are translated to a particular command or a sequence of commands using android API and to signals using android platform on java (Android SDK). The drawoid may move using the variable speeds on each motor allowing speed modulation and hence draw curve shaped paths. It can also lift the pen (drawing device) up while moving so it can draw non continuous shapes also.
