RemoteWebDriver is a keyword/researved word. So instances of RemoteWebDriver should be differently named. Additionally while invoking RemoteWebDriver you need to pass the URL of the Selenium Grid Hub and the instance of DesiredCapabilities as mandatory arguments and you can use the following (Windows based) solution:

File path=new File("C:\\Utility\\phantomjs-2.1.1-windows\\bin\\phantomjs.exe");
System.setProperty("phantomjs.binary.path",path.getAbsolutePath());
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.phantomjs();
capabilities.setPlatform(Platform.XXX);         
driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://localhost:4444/wd/hub"), capabilities);
driver.get("https://www.google.co.in");
System.out.println(driver.getTitle());
driver.quit();
