The technology used to control environments and devices remotely has recently seen considerable developments and improvements. In today's society, the use of these technologies is visible in government, commercial markets and academia. However, there are platforms available that need more exploration to find an economically efficient control system. The system developed to accomplish this was a web-based controlled system using an average web browser that controls a device over the Internet. There were three goals for this research: establishing a connection between the online interface and a microcontroller, determining the best microcontroller for the job and providing a user - friendly site for access. This system provides a remote user with ability to login to an embedded web server that communicates with and controls a robot .The embedded web server hosts the web pages and files that translate the commands. The robot is a commercial off the shelf autonomous robot from Parallax, Inc. The integration of these software and hardware technologies to create a cost efficient web-based controlled robot was the objective of this research.
