Several functions can be controlled with the WeBack app. For example, you can change the suction power, track the robot's location, send it back to the dock, and just stop in place. He has a remote control to "control" him. I've tried doing it blindly from another room, but the location response on the map is too slow to really control accurately. It's not positioned as a remote control car, but it's still interesting to try. :) The tracking feature is cool, especially when the robot gets stuck
