Arduino Robot with Camera.

Hi!

I have this little project of mine. I have just put together a simple robot with two servos for wheels and two arduinos to control it.
One of the arduinos stands on the robot with a XBee shield on top, the other stands by my router with a Ethernet shield and XBee shield on top, and acts as a web server. Hosting a simple web page with 4 buttons to control the robot.

Now, I want to place a camera on my robot, and host it up to the same web page where the buttons are. So if I'm at school, i can log on to the web page and cruise around my apartment with the robot :slight_smile:

Does anyone have any good suggestions as how to solve this problem? I know that the arduino can't handle any video streaming so I have to implement something else. The real problem is how to host it up on the same web page as the buttons.

Any input it appreciated :slight_smile:

Thanks!

On your bot I'd suggest trying an arduino with an ethernet shield, an IP camera, and a wireless router set to the bridging mode to connect to another wireless router that is connected to the internet. Let the wireless routers handle all the wireless connection.
