Use Your DS to Control a Roomba Bot

Yeah, DS-controlled bots aren’t exactly a new thing, but engineering students from France have taken the whole thing to a new level. They have managed to program a Pekee Robot (an open, modular, Roomba-like bot) that can now be fully controlled through the DS.

The wireless link of the platform is used to communicate with the bot, which can be controlled using the touch-screen, motion sensors, D-pad and even through voice commands. It also has a target mode similar to the one in Super Mario 64 DS. Nonbelievers can enjoy the video embedded in this Engadget post.
