This is WiFi serial transceiver module (ESP-03) , supported ESP8266 SoC. The SoC has Integrated TCP/IP protocol stack, making it highly useful in applications of Internet of Things (IoT). The range of operation of this module is nearly up to a couple of kilometers making it an excellent solution for robot applications that require remote .
ESP-03 features a built-in ceramic antenna, 7 GPIO pins, and UART (Rx,Tx) pins for communication with other devices.
ESP8266 may be a highly integrated chip designed for the requirements of a replacement connected world. It offers an entire and self-contained Wi-Fi networking solution, allowing it to either host the appliance or to dump all Wi-Fi networking functions from another application processor. ESP8266 has powerful on-board processing and storage capabilities that allow it to be integrated with the sensors and other application specific devices through its GPIOs with minimal development up-front and minimal loading during runtime. Its high degree of on-chip integration allows for minimal external circuitry, and therefore the entire solution, including front-end module, is meant to occupy minimal PCB area (about an equivalent size as a penny and smaller than ESP-01 Module).
