Abstract :
This project is a robotic vehicle that can be controlled remotely by Skype text messages. A wireless webcam is mounted on the robot, and a live video/audio stream is relayed back to the remote operator via Skype video chat. The robot is wirelessly connected to its host PC with two Xbee modules. The remote operator PC and the local host computer are connected by two Skype clients via the Internet. More sensors and servos can be added to the robot, and controlled remotely by Skype text messages.
