Abstract

This project focuses on the development of a low-cost, web-controlled surveillance robot using the ESP32microcontroller, which offers Wi-Fi capabilities for real-time remote access. The robot is equipped with a camera module that streams live video to a web interface, allowing users to monitor and control the robot’s movements from a browser. The system integrates motor drivers for mobility, a pan-tilt mechanism for dynamic camera positioning, and various sensors for obstacle detection and environmental monitoring.

Through the ESP32’s web server functionality, users can issue commands to control the robot’s direction, speed,and camera angle, enabling flexible surveillance in real-time. The design prioritizes low power consumption, wireless operation, and ease of use, making it suitable for applications in home security, remote monitoring of inaccessible areas, and educational purposes. Key challenges include ensuring a stable video feed over Wi-Fi,low-latency control responses, and efficient battery management.

This project demonstrates the potential of the ESP32 as a platform for robotics and IoT, emphasizing the simplicity of integrating web-based control with real-time data streams in cost-effective surveillance solutions.
