Abstract:
In this paper, we focus on a web-controlled mobile robot for home monitoring. The key point is low-cost. The robot is built from standard components to reduce the cost of the hardware. A large part of the system is deported to the cloud to minimize the required software on the robot. A minimal positioning system is provided to make the robot usable. The result is a small robot wich can be used from the outside or the inside the house.
