Short:
Remote control for robots on Andriod. Message-passing environment visualization on mobile.
We are open to other ideas as well.

Long:
LCM is a message-passing protocol that is used in robotics as a medium between the different processes in a robot and for communicating with control station. ROS is another robotic platform based on message passing.
We want to figure out a way to make the message passing information "browse-able" and intuitive for researchers, also enabling them to interfere and control the robot.

Notable advantages:
- Project will be used after class is completed (there is a substantial interest in using this interface)
- Challenging UI design (lots of data, small screen)
- Immediately accessible users (interview, testing)
