Yuta Sugiura and his co-mate at the Graduate School of Media Design, Keio University have developed a new robot called Walky. It is controlled using iPhone rather than using some keyboard or traditional controller.

“Walky follows in the finger-steps of their laundry-folding robot and UI system called Foldy.”
