Abstract: This study delves into the development of a robot-guided vehicle using a Wi-Fi module and a mobile phone, with a specific emphasis on creating a discreet device for covert operations, serving as a portable espionage robot equipped with a wireless communication system. The spy robot incorporates crucial components, including a camera, motor drivers, batteries, and two mobile wheels. The implementation involves the AI Thinker ESP32-CAM module, which boasts an ESP32-S processor, OV2640 camera, and a microSD card slot for image storage. Video streaming is facilitated through the HTTP communication protocol, allowing users to access live video feeds from the OV2640 camera via a web browser. The web interface provides intuitive buttons for controlling the car's movements. The robotic car is assembled with two DC motors, a Robot chassis, and an L293D motor driver module, complementing the ESP32-Camera module. Vehicle operation is controlled by signals transmitted from the user's smartphone, while live streaming occurs through the camera mounted on the robot, with the user's smartphone receiving the live streaming data via the Wi-Fi wireless infrastructure.
