Video: iPhone controls robot – 10 million iPhones = 10 million robots

If you find it too hard to control your vacuum, Rodrigo Guiterrez and Jeff Craig of the University of South Florida have created a native iPhone app to allow the iPhone to control the iRobot Packbot over Wi-Fi. The iRobot Packbot has a built in camera, and you’ll see video from the camera streamed onto your iPhone. Oh, so they’re going into other campuses and spying on them with this small little robot?

Robots invade after the break.
