Smartphone fuels a robot

Mumbai: Next time somebody throws out buzzwords like 3-D printing and robotics, you can retort: "I've done all that!" How by making the Snapdragon Mini Rover at home or college ( well most of it!).

To promote their mobile chips, Qualcomm has released complete design details include fabrication drawings and a Java programme to mould a robotic mobile forklift using 3-D printer services, now available in many cities; then using the power of a Snapdragon processor-fueled smart phone to control it. A great idea for your school or college project.
