The contents of this work are presented as a plan for constructing a teleoperated mobile robot that has two cameras, with detailed descriptions of both hardware and software components. For this purpose we have designed and developed an universal aluminium chassis that serves as the backbone on which we have mounted a pan-and-tilt system, DC electromotors for the drive, Raspberry Pi microcomputer and a motor controller. To ensure compatibility between individual parts sourced from different manufacturers, we have designed a custom camera mount, a pan-and-tilt mount, additional floor plates and DC motor's fixtures. Camera and robot movements are accessible through a WUI which runs on a modified PiBorg code.
