It is yet to be proven. I tend to believe it is possible to use an on-board phone that has an accelerometer and gyro to close a control loop, assuming that any vehicle that carries a phone is not very small, i.e. doesn't need crazy-low latency. Possibly other uses for the on-board phone: - Connection to the remote controller over Bluetooth, WiFi or cellular. - Real time telemetry and/or live video. - GPS / Wifi localization for navigation. - Use down-facing camera and computer vision for localization / station-keeping / heading hold. - Some phones have barometers - keep / report altitude. - Use camera flash as strobe light.
Bottom line, an Android phone is potentially a very good candidate for a quad controller. I've been wanted to try to build one myself for a long time and never got around to it. Very curious to see whether someone can make it work.
