Android is Google's operating system for mobile devices. There are already many Android-based phones, known as GPhones. Android is a free and open source platform, and many developers around the world have developed applications based on Android. Ryan Hickman from Google's Doubleclick division built a tank robot with an Android phone as its "brain."

The robot uses the HTC G1 phone for its brain, is fitted with wheels and tracks, and looks like a tank. The robot can turn and automatically adjust its point to the south according to the compass function on the phone.
