Abstract
The project introduces the method to remotely control a Telepresence robot from anywhere in the world. Owners when not present at their offices can’t have a live 360 degree view of their place, unlike CCTV cameras Telepresence robot offers the access of owners to their offices or factories while they are not present physically at the location. This robot provides the solutions to mobile presence of owners, they can move around in the environment of office or factory while sitting anywhere in the world where internet connectivity is available. To cater the problem of wireless controls of robot from anywhere in world Wi-Fi controlled app is introduced in our robot which also serves as control of the robot and face of robot as well. Another problem was to make the robot capable of sensing stair like surfaces and obstacles which are not visible on the camera, so SONAR sensors are deployed on robot to fulfill this requirement. Automatic headlights resolve the issue of darkness to be faced by robot in dark areas.
