Webcam on robot

Hey folks
I have a question
I want to make a robot with a webcam
I know I could do it with a laptop but want to avoid doing so.
Any one have any ideas

Also the robot must be able to get a 100-200feet the minimum.
I have WiFi in my house if you might ask that.

Thank you

It's relatively easy to do. You can either use a consumer-grade wireless
camera back to a framegrabber on the "control host", or run everything
on board the robot, generally at the expense of run-times/size.

See the link in my sig for one way to do it.

Hope that helps -- m

USB wireless-izer?  I think there is available a
box that will convert any USB device into
wireless.  Search google.

I bought an IPKamera from http://www.digidave.co.uk/ . it is has an ethernet
port that you could plug into a wifi basestation box.

It has a good very picture and good price but not much documentation help.

He also sells on with wifi included.

Thanks but I want to use a USB webcam,
Nothing else and I don't want to use a laptop.

No
all I want to do is make my logitech webcam wireless.
I don't want to buy a new camera, I just want to use the one Ive got.

USB wireless-izer
there is no such device
That was no help and the rest were crap.
I got replys like Ip cam and information that did not exist.
I just need to make my webcam wireless that is all.

  >stupid ass.

three times on the same date, why dont you just buy a cmu cam for 100
bucks it wouuld be easier and it is actually ment for robotics

are you like seven or something

You might want to check the ASUS WL-500b router below to see if
it can work in the bridging mode. Otherwise if you just must use
that cam, then buy a laptop with wireless and you should be good
to go (batterys included!).

how about a USB to serial converter,
and a wireless serial box?

Finaly a good reply, also MR robot is a dumb ass,
he doesn't even know what a cmu cam does.

It won't work. What you are asking does not exist. Wireless USB is under
development, but won't work with existing USB devices. Wireless FireWire
exists, but is not useful for your4 application. Wireless video however is
available at every corner, using regular video cameras, like the $8
sugarcube cameras sold by pretty much any electronics store.

And stop insulting people. It make you look like an idiot.
