The Edurob Robot Controller for Android is available here (Play Store Link)
It will connect with EV3 via Bluetooth, and it will both enable a remote control app, and it will allow EV3 program launching. It is still currently under revisional development and will update regularly with new functionality.
The Edurob team at NTU have put together a detailed guide to getting this app working with your EV3 (See document here). A set of behaviours must also be installed on your EV3 using the Lego Mindstorms Application on your computer. These can then be called using the Edurob Robot Controller app.
This document will be updated with further details of functionality as it becomes available.
The Lego Mindstorms EV3 interactions created by the Edurob team are available below with full descriptions and details of how to easily integrate them into your robotic teaching sessions available in the Edurob Curriculum document (here) as Example Learning Scenarios (ELS).

Part 1 – A behaviour to make the EV3 ask the student to find an object from a set of objects. These objects are placed on cards in front of the student. Further advice on use of the behaviour can be found in the EduRob Curriculum document, ELS07. The current behaviour asks for a random card from the 6 cards. Replaying the behaviour will ask for the next random card.
Default objects are animals. The cards consist of: cat, dog, horse, cow, elephant, rabbit,
Other included sound files are: ball, book, pen, shoe, spoon.
Part 2 – A behaviour to get the robot to ask the student to find a number. It can be any number from one to ten selected randomly each time the app is run. The numbers pdfs can be used to create cards with these numbers on them.
These may be called using the Edurob App. They should be used with a suitable reward behaviours, such as “Encourage and Praise”.
Lego Mindstorms EV3 v 1.2.1 for EV3 Firmware version 1.09H – Also version using Ultrasonic sensor for EV3 Educational.
The robot detects the distance of the closest object to its IR/US sensor. It plays a sound tone which gets lower as the object gets closer to the robot, and also constantly displays the approximate distance in cm on the robot brick screen.
Distance accuracy using the IR sensor is limited.
Distance accuracy using the Ultrasonic sensor is more accurate.
Program path for IR sensor: “ELS08IR/Part1”
Program path for US sensor: “ELS08US/Part1”

II. The teacher presents the student story sequencing cards (three) in random order. He asks the student to show the robot each card. Teacher describes each card and asks student to help him (he could ask students some prompt questions; What is it? What is he doing? etc). After describing all 3, the robot says, “It is a story. Arrange the pictures into order from the beginning to the end.”
