1. Final Project Presentation Matt Dean, Ta-Chang Chao Brady Wied, Quang Dang Wireless Robot Control with a Personal Digital Assistant

2. Introduction Problem Statement: Allow a handheld PDA to act as the brain for a robot through wireless communication. Today’s Presentation: Overview of Whole Development Cycle, Final Project Status, Live Demo, Questions.

3. Knowledge Development/Training Microsoft Embedded Visual C++ 3.0 Pocket PC Emulator ActivMedia Robotics Interface for Applications(ARIA) GAPI Draw Serial Communication

4. Porting ARIA to the Pocket PC Large amounts of functionality needed Pocket PC port did not yet exist Many common features of C++ were not implemented by eVC++ Alternate STL and Winsock libraries

5. ARIA DLL Production Provide a common linkable library to application developers Removes need to recompile the ARIA library every time an application is made. Incorporate into our example robotics application

6. User Interface Development Sonar Display On Screen Joystick Interactive Map Position & Correction Button Left & Right Rotation Button Zoom In & Out Button Up, Down, Left, Right Button Component Integration

7. Pocket PC to Robot Communication Last Minute Setback - Bluetooth Adapter Delays Successful connectivity through wireless serial communication.

8. Final Integration Connected onscreen components to Aria functionality Created custom joystick action in Aria Tested functionality

9. Final Project Status We successfully controlled the robot using a PDA over a wireless connection. The wireless component was RF instead of Bluetooth but Bluetooth should be plug and play once it arrives.
