About Us
We are a collection of hobbyists who want to free your cell phone from your pocket and let it connect and move with the real word. How? As a robot of course!
Cellbots aren’t just about using your phone to control a robot (which is cool too), but we aim on making your phone be the robot. It already has touch, hearing, speech, vibration, and many more senses, but needs legs (or wheels) to finally be the free roaming robot it was born to be. Check out these examples of phone freedom.
This is an Android phone connected to an Arduino platform, that can use text-to-speech, GPS, and compass headings:
Here we demonstrate a Nokia N-95 phone using BlueTooth and a joystick to control an RC car:
Check out our other articles for more details and the links on the right to find source code, pictures, and videos or more cellbots in action. Feel free to share your projects, questions, and ideas in the comments sections, or reach out to us at team@cellbots.com.
Don’t let your cell phone suffer from another day of sitting idle on the charger or jammed deep in your bag – set her free!

Hi my name is Sheldon Kaye, I am a show manager at the new show APPCON. APPCON is a mobile application developers conference & expo which is being help in Las Vegas, Nevada August 24-26.
During APPCON we plan on holding a “Hackathon” competition where we envisioned mobile developers programming robots to compete with each other in games or something similar.
Your cell bots would be absolutely perfect for this competition, and I was hoping I could talk to you further about this opportunity.
If this interests you please email me or call me at 702-450-7662 ext. 124
Hope to hear from you soon!
