Hello,
I am thinking of doing a project that involves controlling a robot with a mobile phone.
The idea is to use a bluetooth enabled phone to control the robot.
At the robot, the bluetooth device will b interfaced to a microcontroller via a USB port.
The microcontroller further controls the motors of the robot.
However, as in the case of a pc which is connected to a mobile thru bluetooth, we require drivers at the pc.
So how am i supposed 2 load the decoding software(drivers in the case of a pc) at the robot?
It is for sure that i require some software at the reciever to decode the keypresses at the mobile(transmitter).
I am confused about the feasibility of this project at the undergraduate level,as this reqiures me to have in-depth knowledge of J2ME(for creating the application at the mobile),Bluetooth,USB,Microcontrollers and Motors.
However, this has been done before by Sony Ericsson.They made a bluetooth controlled toycar named CAR 100.
These are the links to a review of the CAR100,check it out-

Please guide me about my doubts.
And please suggest any alternate ways to do the project.
Thanks !!
