Description

Imagine if you have a robot that has camera on board and can be controlled through Internet.

It would open a lot of opportunities of using it.

For example you could send the robot to the kitchen to check if you accidentally left the kettle on the stove!

I found that with ESP32-CAM it can be done easily.
