Abstract

This thesis focuses on wearable devices that are currently actual topic. It presents their history, communication methods and capabilities of application. It further describes created solution that demonstrates the application of wearable devices for controlling a robot. The solution consists of a wearable device named Myo armband, an Android application and a robot on the platform ROS (Robot operating system). A Myo armband has a form of a bracelet that is placed on a forearm and contains sensors such as a magnetometer, a gyroscope, an accelerometer and an EMG (electromyographic sensors for sensing muscle activity on which base certain gestures are recognized). The application is designed for controlling a mobile robot capable of moving forward, backward and veer based on gestures and movements of a hand on which a Myo armband is attached. For this purpose, the application reads the relevant data from a wearable device using Bluetooth LE (Low Energy), then evaluates them and sends control messages via Wi-Fi technology to a robot. The description of a robot is discussed in more detail further below. The usage of the application (which is the main contribution of the author) and a Myo armband enable to control a set of mobile robots driven by the Robotic operating system (ROS).
