Our Design

Working Principle

Overview of our robot

  • Remote-controlled robot via Wi-Fi
  • Live access of its video and binaural audio feed
  • Useful for remote surveillance

 

Project Phases 

Initial Planning Phase

  • Local area network to control the robot
  • Using Wi-Fi due to large amount of data transmission
