- Looking for ideas, and further resources on how to design and build a remote-controlled robot with a camera, to communicate with a person in a far geographical area in real-time
My girlfriend had this idea of building a robot controlled from distance, which could make the person controlling it to feel in the environment where the robot is. In the context of social distancing, person A would have the robot on his/her environment while person B could control this robot while talking with A (i.e. as an avatar, except in real-world)
Could be a tabletop robot with camera rotation (pitch and yaw) or a wheeled chassis with a camera, for example
My initial thought would be to integrate a raspberry pi or arduino (?) with a camera and servo-motors (basically a webcam which moves). In the case of a wheeled robot, then add DC motors and a battery (e.g.: ).
I'd like to ask you guys, do you have any project for reference? What do you think of the setup I mentioned and what should I look for to implement control over distance, for example via the internet? Moreover, how to implement an online, real-time control over distance?
Thanks!
Note : I'm not used to working with robotics, but I have experience with mechatronics engineering, so technical language is ok with me.
