Forknife the G1-controlled robot is back, and he’s brought friends

The gang over at Surveyor Robotics have introduced SRV-1 Console, an open source Android app for operating robots based on the company’s camera board and firmware. Using the G1’s WiFi capabilities, the operator can access a live video feed from the robot and control the device using the handset’s touchscreen and accelerometer.

We have all the robots in action via Youtube video after the break.
