This is just for a hobby work. I want to control a hardware device from my
android phone like how a RC toy works. I have hands on with Android. I can
code in python as well. I am planning to purchase a ready-to-assemble robot
kit from a local vendor. And I would like to have an interface with the
robot and my phone over blue tooth. I hope we can create that interface
with Arduino. I don't have any hands on experience with hardwares. Does
anyone have experience with these kind of work before? Can anyone point out
where can I start with?
Most standard robot kits or micro-controller kits won't come with
a Bluetooth interface. Typically you should have some hardware skills
like soldering to attach a Bluetooth module to the robot controller or
micro-controller. Bluetooth modules are available in India here:

Typical arrangement will be like this:
Micro-controller<->Serial Interface<->Bluetooth Module <------ Over the air
---------> Android phone's Bluetooth subsystem <-> Android Bluetooth API
(RFCOMM)
Most Bluetooth modules are serial drop ins in which case no setup from
software (embedded, micro-controller) is required. Some devices might
require you setup the device from the micro-controller (like device name,
baud rate etc.)
In principle, setting up a Bluetooth link between a mobile phone to a robot
controller or micro controller is not very difficult, but not child's play
either if you are not a micro-controller regular :)
