Description

What about using a remote controlled robot for exploring your surroundings, reaching inaccessible places, spying, take pictures, making films or broadcasting a video? This project will show you how to make an inexpensible for all those purposes!This project is an improvement of my previous robot (<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.instructables.com/id/Wi-fi-Controlled-FPV-Rover-Robot-with-Arduino-ESP8/">https://www.instructables.com/id/Wi-fi-Controlled-FPV-Rover-Robot-with-Arduino-ESP8/</a>), in which I designed a faster home-made robot. It shows how to design a remotely controlled two-wheeled robot over a Wi-Fi network, using two DC motors, an Arduino Uno and an ESP8266 Wi-fi module.The robot can be controlled from an ordinary internet browser, using a HTML designed interface. An Android smartphone might de used to broadcast video and audio from the robot to the control interface.

In this project I show how to design home-made robot, remotely controlled over a Wi-Fi network. It uses two DC motors, an Arduino Uno and an ESP8266 Wi-fi module. A low-cost frame was designed and built, using ordinary tools (no 3D printer, laser cutter or CNC router needed). The robot can be controlled from an ordinary internet browser, using a HTML designed interface. An Android smartphone might de used to broadcast video and audio from the robot to the control interface.
