Hi ROS Community,
I've been working on a driver that connects the sensors in Android devices
to the ROS environment. At this time, it only publishes
sensor_msgs/NavSatFix messages, but I will soon introduce sensor_msgs/Imu
and sensor_msgs/Image to publish data from accelerometers, gyroscopes,
magnetometers, and front/rear cameras.
To get more information and to install, please see the following:

To file bugs, request features, view source, or contribute UI, translation,
or other improvements, please see the Google Code project:

I hope everyone finds this useful and I look forward to hearing your
feedback and seeing cool uses for Android devices in robotics.
Thanks,
- Chad Rockey
