"tho animal rights groups would go nuts."

Why would they? Cats have to move to stay healthy, but home cats are notoriously lazy. I feel slightly guilty that I play with my cat too little. Robo-laser is on my project list, though I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving camera inside my home that has unrestricted Internet access.

There's remote feeders (with apps, cameras, etc), pretty sure they also exist for play. Both cats and doges.

There already a bunch of sites out there like that.

Why would they go nuts? Haven't seen a single backlash against the many sites out there already doing this.

Some animal rights groups can be quite touchy, I don't think there'd be a lot of forgiving PR if a stranger uses a remote-controlled bot to injure/kill a cat over the Internet.

I never thought this would already be an actual thing, could you give me some links?
