RoboLink
Free Android app to wirelessly control Arduino robots via Wi-Fi (UDP) or Bluetooth with a customizable drag-and-drop controller interface.
RoboLink (robolink.studio) is a hobbyist robotics controller application developed and maintained by independent software developer Sakib Ahmed Shanto. The project is not a registered company or commercial robotics firm; it is an open-source initiative designed to serve the global maker and educational robotics community by lowering the barrier to wireless robot control.
The Android app, distributed free of charge on Google Play (package ID: com.ahmedapps.robolink), allows users to wirelessly control Arduino-based robotic platforms over Wi-Fi using the UDP protocol or via Bluetooth Classic. A companion open-source Arduino library hosted on GitHub (github.com/sakibahmedshanto/Roblink-Arduino-Library) provides the board-side firmware interface for a wide range of Arduino-compatible microcontrollers, including the ESP32 and ESP8266.
Users design their controller interface using a visual drag-and-drop widget editor that supports a rich set of control elements: analog joysticks with configurable axis inversion, dead zones, and output range; momentary and toggle buttons; linear sliders; D-pads; XY position pads; gauge readouts; and trigger controls. Preset layouts for common use cases — RC car driving and multi-joint robotic arm control — are available out of the box, and custom layouts can be saved and recalled as named profiles.
Additional capabilities include live MJPEG camera streaming for first-person-view (FPV) robot operation, automatic reconnection after connection drops, persistent device pairing history, and a step-by-step onboarding walkthrough for new users. The project's tutorial library documents complete build walkthroughs, including an ESP32-CAM RC vehicle with integrated live video feed. The developer's sole public contact is a personal Gmail address; no business entity, physical office, or investment backing exists behind the project. An iOS version is noted as forthcoming. RoboLink is best categorized as an open-source hobbyist control tool within the STEM education and maker robotics space.
The project's documentation infrastructure includes a dedicated tutorials section covering common use cases, a blog with technical walkthroughs, and a FAQ resource, all hosted on robolink.studio. Support is provided through GitHub Issues on the open-source library repository, reflecting the community-driven nature of the project rather than a commercial support model. The developer, Sakib Ahmed Shanto, is based in the San Diego area (an address of 5677 Oberlin Dr #100, San Diego, CA is listed in the directory) but the project has no registered business entity or employees beyond its solo developer. The email associated with the listing ([email protected]) is a personal Gmail and not a business contact. RoboLink should be understood as a valuable open-source tool within the hobbyist robotics ecosystem rather than a commercial software company, and its verification status is accordingly assessed as minimal. The app is free, has no subscription model, and derives no apparent commercial revenue.
