        abstract = {Human operators need to use special equipment when they enter hazardous locations which also present challenging access difficulties. The paper presents a wheel-based robotic platform which operates remotely for visual checks and environmental data collection during live monitoring sessions. The system achieves architectural separation between motion control and monitoring subsystems through its use of various microcontrollers. The joystick-operated ESP32 system allows users to control motor movement through its high-current motor driver and wireless ESP-NOW protocol which enables fast response times. The system uses multiple sensors which connect to different ESP32 units to collect data about the environment and the movement of the device. A Raspberry Pi 3 receives processed telemetry data via UART. The system shows live sensor information together with USB camera video feed through a web-based monitoring interface. The system establishes compatibility between different sensor interfaces and microcontroller logic levels through signal conditioning and voltage level conversion processes. The experimental evaluation showed that the system allows users to navigate manually while it displays synchronized telemetry data and streams stable video footage which proves its usefulness for monitoring remote areas that have dangerous or limited access.},
