Remotely Control and Monitor Your Robots

Robots are becoming more and more like humans, so you know what that means. They too need their own social networks to stay connected in this quickly-changing digital world. Myrobots.com allows robots and smart objects to benefit from socializing, sharing and collaborating just like we do, without the ridiculous status updates.

Connecting with your robot

The goal of MyRobots is to connect all robots and intelligent devices to the Internet. The website allows them to share their sensor information to give insight on their perspective of their current state—it's pretty much a Facebook for robots. Through the MyRobots App Store, robots' capabilities are augmented to do more, enabling them to be remotely monitored and controlled.

With access to apps such as RobotControl 3.0, you can tell your iRobot Roomba to vacuum the living room carpet with the push of a button, no matter if you're at work or across the world, and it will quickly get to cleaning. You can also access fun interactive apps such as RoboFriend to empower your robot with autonomy, intelligence and personality, and even get real time control of your rover with the Lynx Rover Controller that can be managed with a PS2 controller.

Download RobotControl 3.0 on the MyRobots App Store to remotely control your Roomba. 

To connect your intelligent devices to MyRobots, you must first create an account. Once your robot is registered, you'll be presented with instructions on how to set up the connection by providing your robot with its Robot Key, which assumes it's able to directly connect to the Internet or to your MyRobots Connect.

Alerts

Just like us, robots can react to how they're affected with MyRobots. They use several alerts depending on their condition:

• String – the robot's status or one of its sensors contains, starts with, is equal to, or ends with a certain string.
• Status – the same as string but only applying to the robot status.
• Numeric – one of the robot's sensors is less than, equal to, or greater than a certain value.
• Geo – the robot's coordinates are within or further than a certain distance of a geographical coordinate.
• No data check – MyRobots raises a flag if the robot did not communicate for a certain period of time.

Compatible 'bots

All Internet-enabled devices and robots are compatible with MyRobots. Some robots and devices, such as Android-powered devices, Arduino, and Nao H25, the humanoid robot, are immediately supported by the platform so you can connect right away, as the required software and instructions are readily available. If you build custom robots, easily get your robot connected using the open API.

Nao H25, the humanoid robot by Aldebaran Nao can immediately connect to MyRobots.

App details

Depending on the app you download to augment your robot, prices vary.
