Transforming Basic Robotic Platforms into Easily Deployable and Web Remotely Controllable Robots

Abstract : This paper describes a way to transform basic robotic platforms into Web remotely controllable robots. Our goal is to achieve robot deployment anywhere, at anytime, at low-cost. As soon as full or even restricted Internet access is available (WiFi or 3G), the robot can be deployed and Webcontrolled. The distant user can send commands to the robot and monitor the state of the robot. For example, the distant user can make the robot move and get snapshots taken by the robot.
