Control Your Android With Your Android [Video]

Monday morning seems to never disappoint in bringing us a feel-good Android-related story. For those that are into the Android dolls and collectibles craze, then you might be extremely tempted by what’s being called the Android-Robo.

Engineers Reo Matsumura and Hideyuki Takei are the two masterminds behind the hardware and software, respectively. The software (an Android app) is used to send commands to the hardware (said Android robot) and then the simple (yet awesome) combination will proceed to blow your mind.

It’s not the most technologically impressive thing we’ve ever seen come out of the Android camp, but it’s Android, so that’s good enough for us.

    Bluetooth module could be set up to wake up on new notication.

    On a personal level paint it black and make the eyes glow red maybe give it just one eye, like the droid commmercial, would be pimp. Oh and one day I expect it to say “I’m sorry dave”

    @Mojo Yugen
    No, because Steve Jobs says it’s bad to have an Android controlled Android, so apple owners can’t have this.

  • UHF3

    You’ll never see anything this cool for an iphone. There are, of course, a multitude of reasons. One of which is that apple and iphone don’t have a cool “mascot”. Really, who the heck wants an 33 year old apple that someone has taken a bite out of!?!!?!! Not to mention, apples don’t do anything to begin with. Except fall from trees and rot on the ground.
