Other features of the robot include a laser rangefinder and LED inspection lights including three brightness levels to cope with various circumstances. The robot is driven by rechargeable NiMH batteries which can last for an hour. Its entire operations can be controlled comfortably via Wi-Fi from a laptop placed in a safe location.
