Wireless control robot could have lots of applications in military and industry where human presence or labor is discouraged.

Internet web cams are already here...use them all the time to check traffic conditions, weather conditions, bird nests, etc.

Instead of robot monitors, RFID might be a better idea, more pervasive.

(It is tacitly assumed the internet-monitored robots are themselves stationed at a certain post with wireless access, while the user may roam about remotely.)
