The NIT-K U.A.V Android Remote Demo App isapart of the Lecture-Demo Session on "Smart PhoneApplicationDevelopment" at the "Workshop On Disaster Management&Community Resilience Through Unmanned Aerial Vehicle” heldinNIT-K, Surathkal, India from February 27th,2014 to March 1st,2014. The app is used to explain to the Participants the basicsofAndroid App Development and Sensor Programming & how itformsthe basis for Smartphone Based U.A.V Remote Control.ABOUT THE WORKSHOPUnmanned Aerial Vehicle (U.A.V.) technologies are gettingintocommercial applications. Combining surveillance videotechnologieswith U.A.V. enable data collection in inaccessiblegeographiclocations or in areas where conventional technologieshave limiteduse. Present workshop will bring together researchers,companiesand end-users particularly to explore the potentialcivilianapplications of U.A.V. for rapid mapping, data collectionduringhumanitarian crises and emergencies. Successful operationofU.A.V.s requires a range of expertise, from initial planningtopiloting skills and autonomous programming skills. Thisworkshopwill provide a glimpse of basic and state of the arthardware /software of U.A.V.-based applications.ABOUT THE CENTRE FOR DISASTER RISK REDUCTIONThe Centre for Disaster Risk Reduction (CDRR) at theNIT-K,Surathkal was started with the objective of studying thecauses ofdisasters and developing appropriate technologies fordisaster riskreduction, developing indigenous technologies foraddressing localproblems and providing periodic training anddissemination ofknowledge to local community.

Rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock is anexpansion of the classic selection method game rock-paper-scissors.It operates on the same basic principle, but includes twoadditional weapons: the lizard and Spock. This reduces the chancesof a round ending in a tie (from 1/3 to 1/5).The game was invented by Sam Kass with Karen Bryla, as "RockPaper Scissors Spock Lizard" & has been mentioned in the TVshow The Big Bang Theory.The rules of Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock are:Scissors cut paperPaper covers rockRock crushes lizardLizard poisons SpockSpock smashes scissorsScissors decapitate lizardLizard eats paperPaper disproves SpockSpock vaporizes rockRock crushes scissorsThere are ten possible pairings of the five gestures; eachgesture beats two of the other gestures and is beaten by theremaining two. As with the original rock-paper-scissors game, iftwo players pick the same gesture, it is a tie. The original rules(rock beats scissors, scissors beats paper, paper beats rock) stillremain the same.*this is a fan made app to demonstrate simple app development.This is not an official app and has no connection with "The BigBang Theory","Chuck Lorre Productions","Warner Bros.Television","Barenaked Ladies" or "CBS"Music Credit - Barenaked LadiesImage credit - Wikipedia"Bazinga"- Voice of Jim Parsons
