RANCANG BANGUN APLIKASI MOBILE REMOTE CONTROL BERBASIS ANDROID PADA ROBOT LEGO MINDSTRORM NXT 2.0
ABSTRACT: Today the
development of technology especially Android smartphone is increase. Many
various ofAndroid application that help human life are developed.In the same
time of developing smartphone technology,robotic technology is also growing.
Many miniaturerobotic technology (microbot) has ability to mimic theoriginal
robot. One of the famous robotic technology isLEGO Mindstorm NXT with NXT-G
platform.LegoMindstorm NXT 2.0 gives the user ability to construct the robot by
using a few motors and sensors (touchsensor, light sensor, ultrasonic sensor,
temperaturesensor, and sound sensor). However, processingcapacity, memory, and
communication ability ofLEGO NXT are far behind what is offered on asmartphone
device. Lego Mindstorm NXT 2.0 onlyoffers the capacity of flash memory 256kb
and 64kb ofRAM.Because of that reason, the writer create LegoNXT controller applications
embedded in smartphonesbased on Android. The Intelligence of robot that usedto
put in the brick move into this application. Thisgives us a great advantage
because the current androidsmartphones has higher specifications than the
brickcomponents (brain) of Lego NXT. For comparison,android smartphones owned
2GB of RAM and 2-64GB storage capacity. The brick of Lego NXT only has64kb RAM
and 256kb of flash memory.Theapplications also allows the robot to switch the
modesof manual control mode, control through accelerometer,making robot avoid
the obstacle, and line followerrobot. After going through the black box
testing, all ofthe functions in application is running according to its
function. Based on the kompetibility testing, theapplication also running well
on a variety of differentversions of Andoid devices.
