💡Make your home smart with these Alexa enabled connected devices

So you have an old netbook sitting around collecting dust and would like to do more with it? The Oculus robot kit is worth a look. It turns your laptop into a telepresence and surveillance robot that you can control from the web. The Oculus Robot features an adjustable frame, powered wheels, and a tilting periscope for your computer’s webcam.

Oculus comes with open source control software and can be controlled from iOS/Android devices or a web browser on your PC. The microcontroller is Arduino compatible, so you can always get more creative with this.
