I designed and constructed a remote-controlled exploration robot that can be controlled from anywhere in the world through cellular 4G networking. The robot can move and traverse terrain and pick up and place objects at will using a crane system. The entire robot can be controlled through a computer steering wheel and foot pedal using computer software that I built.
