Wirelessly Controlled iPhone Robot Makes for Easy Motion Video Capture

From the person that made an iPhone with an actual keyboard, comes an iPhone robot that allows the user to control said device via a nearby computer.

Using a jailbroken iPhone 3G running on some Ruby code, an Arduino CPU, a TA7291P motor, and 4 AA batteries, the creator has the ability to pilot the iPhone bot via WiFi from a nearby computer, all while recording its view via the iPhone’s camera.

Have a look at said project in motion, as it is pretty neat indeed.
