What It Does

The code accepts incoming commands via telnet or voice recognition, then it sends the commands out to a robot device. It is essentially an API for using a cellphone to control a robot.

Highlighted functionality includes: * Voice recognition to speak to your robot * Text-to-speech so your robot can speak back * Compass orientation to point North, East, South, West, or any degree in between * Remote control commands for forward, back, left, right, and stop * Audio recoding to use the phone's mic to record sounds * GPS to acquire the phone's location and speak the city and state * XMPP Chat to send chat commands to the robot

Why use cellphones for robots?

By using cheap electronic components such as Arduino boards, you can pair them with your $400 phone to make an awesome robot. It would cost hundreds of dollars to add GPS, LCD's, motion sensors, wi-fi, cellular connections, speakers, and more to a hobby bot, but your phone already has these!
