I recently got into robotics and I am interested in making a website that allows a user to control a robot plugged into the web somehow. I am sure this is possible, as I have seen several security cameras that are controlled via web-based interfaces. I'm trying to do the same exact thing, I just don't know how to get javascript or a flash interface talking to the C or Java program that will likely be running the microcontroller in my robot.
Also, I am not sure if I understand this right but I have read a bit about embedded ethernet and it almost sounds like I could just store all my programming on my webpage and plug my robot straight into a router, thereby allowing 24-hour access to the robot and eliminating the need for the robot to be connected to a server. Is this right?
Thanks,
Rob

Here's an one of those security camera's I mentioned: Web controlled Surveillance Camera
This guy even posted all of his code on that site (I can post some here if you don't want to click the link and download the pdf containing his code). I understand most of it, I'm just hazy on where and how the php is talking to the C. And is all this code stored on one page like he makes it seem? Or is the C code in a separate file on his PC somewhere?
