There are several ways for controlling the OpenBot robot.
The easiest way to control the robot is to connect a game controller via bluetooth. Most BT game controllers should work. We have tested the PS4 controller, XBox controller and several aftermarket controllers such as the X3.
This controller requires your phone and a computer (e.g. laptop, rasberry PI) to be connected to the same WiFi network. After successful connection you get a live low-latency video feed and can use your keyboard to control the robot from the browser.

After successful connection you get a live RTSP video stream and can use your keyboard to control the robot from the terminal. You can use the Python script as a template to develop your own controller.
