iphone/ipad: create a remote control freature

I am quite new to iOS development and just thought to take guidance from experts

Actually I have to do a project in which I can use iPAd/iPhone to control some external device like camera movement or anything similar like that, some PIC programming or anything related to robotics, mechanics which can be controlled from iOS based device.

I am kind of 开发者_JS百科lost goggling please guide me on this.

If you can help me with these I can get some concrete redirections

1) Links to whitepapers / articles / blogs having relevant material

2) Links of third party libraries which can help me in this

3) Links of demo application which are already there

4) What stream should I focus on to get material regarding the same.

eg: something like survilance system

Thanks in advance

So the practical ways to interface an iOS device to a robot are over WiFi, establishing either a UDP or TCP socket. Here are a few links:

I would not recommend the Bluetooth path, as Apple considers bluetooth as an "External Accessory" and requires MFi certification (Made for iPhone)
