Our aim is to control an iRobot Roomba Create (a robot vacuum cleaner without the cleaning bit) using voice control, mind control and gesture control. If we get time we’d also like to get a Parrot AR Drone to fly above the robot and follow it and to get a Kondo Humanoid robot some gestures.

For voice input we’ll be using Google’s Android on a smartphone and its voice recognition API. For mind control we are using MindWave computer-brain interface. For the gestures we’ll be using an Microsoft Xbox 360 Kinect.
