to mark as completed Autonomous Telepresence Security Rover
Autonomous Security Rover

The Rover will be able to navigate through a known environment, with the main purpose to make sure that no one is on the premises. In case of a security breach (witch the Rover will be able to detect via the two PIR sensors) it will send a text notification to the cell phone of the owner. The Rover can also be controlled over the Web or with a Remote Control Unit (Case with a 10" screen). The Remote will get a separate post since it is quite complicated.
When I got the time (in a few days) I will describe my Project in more detail.
In case you are interested, there is a lot of Information in the Video.
There will be many videos to follow. :)
