Mobile Robot with Telepresence Control.

Abstract

This paper focuses on developing a mobile robotic system capable of wireless movement and control. The robot can be controlled immersively via the virtual reality headset, or from any other device like a laptop or a mobile phone connected to the same Wi-Fi network. The robot houses a stereographic camera pair that streams near real-time video allowing the user to pan & tilt using only a head movement. The solution proposed in this paper also focuses on keeping the overall price low while maintaining as much room for future improvements as possible.
