- Work by cognitive sciences post doc Nicolas Oros and engineering undergrads Kevin Jonaitis, Kyle Boos and Joshua Ferguson is featured in the Orange County Register June 18, 2012
From the OC Register:
Students at UC Irvine built an app that runs a robot car using an Android phone as
its brain and eyes and can autonomously follow a moving object or vehicle. The second-year
students - Kevin Jonaitis, Kyle Boos and Joshua Ferguson - coded an app and put it
on a Samsung Galaxy S II which is placed in a holder on top of a remote-control car.
The phone's camera functions as an eye, and they've programmed it to be on the lookout
for the color green.
