This paper proposes a practical methodology to implement a mobile robot agent based on a Google Android Smartphone. The main computational unit of the robot agent is a Smartphone connected through USB to a control motor board that drives two motors and one stick. The agent program structure is implemented using multi-threading methods with shared memory instances. The agent uses the Smartphone camera to obtain images and to apply image processing algorithms in order to obtain profitable information of its environment. Moreover, the robot can use the sensors embedded in the Smartphone to gather more information of the environment. This paper describes the methodology used and the advantages of developing a robot agent based on a Smartphone.
