Brian Cross has created this new interesting NXT creation. It is a “Windows Mobile Robot”, or in short, “WiMo”. He uses his laptop to communicate via WiFi to a smartphone, which in turn uses BT to send commands to the NXT brick. WiMo is controlled using the new Microsoft Robot Studio and has two “modes” - personality mode and camera mode. When WiMo is in personality mode, the Smartphone’s screen is facing forward and displays a picture that represents WiMo. When in Camera Mode, WiMo rotates the Smartphone to face its camera forward and starts streaming video using DirectShow. More info and pictures of this robot can be found here.
