Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a robot system including a conventional robot commonly with relatively-simplified moving platform and also with a voice-synthesis function of a certain kind for uttering a plurality of words and the voice while achieving monitoring a remote patient and auxiliary functions. SOLUTION: The robot has a camera and a monitor which are attached to a housing. The robot is further attached to the housing and also has a platform linked with a controller. The controller is linked with a broadband interface. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
A remote controlled robot (12) system (10) that includes a robot (12) and a remote control station (16). A user can control movement the robot (12) from the remote control station (16). The remote control station (16) may generate robot (12) control commands that are transmitted through a broadband network. The robot (12) has a camera (26) that generates video images that are transmitted to the remote control station (16) through the network. The user can control movement of the robot (12) while viewing the video images provided by the robot (12) camera (26). The robot (12) can automatically stop movement if it does not receive a robot (12) control command within a time interval. The remote control station (16) may transmit a stop command to the robot (12) if the station does not receive an updated video image within a time interval.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are various embodiments of the systems and methods for management of information among various medical providers and/or facilities. According to various embodiments, the systems and methods disclosed herein may facilitate the completion of location specific forms in a variety of formats by medical professionals.

Abstract:
A remote controlled robot system that includes a mobile robot and a remote control station. A user can control movement of the robot from the remote control station. The mobile robot includes a camera system that can capture and transmit to the remote station a zoom image and a non-zoom image. The remote control station includes a monitor that displays a robot view field. The robot view field can display the non-zoom image. The zoom image can be displayed in the robot view field by highlighting an area of the non-zoom field. The remote control station may also store camera locations that allow a user to move the camera system to preset locations.
Abstract:
A robotic system (10) that includes a remote controlled robot (12) with at least five degrees of freedom and a teleconferencing function. The robot may include a camera, a monitor and a holonomic platform all attached to a robot housing. The robot may be controlled by a remote control station (16) that also has a camera (26) and a monitor (24). The remote control station may be linked to a base station (14) that is wirelessly coupled to the robot. The cameras and monitors allow a care giver at the remote location to monitor and care for a patient through the robot. The holonomic platform provides three degrees of freedom to allow the robot to move about a home or facility to locate and/or follow a patient. The robot also has mechanisms to provide at least two degrees of freedom for the camera.

Abstract:
A system that includes a mobile platform and a remote station. The remote station may be a personal computer coupled to the remote platform through a broadband network. A user can control movement of the mobile platform through the remote station. A medical monitoring device such as a stethoscope or EKG monitor can be coupled to the mobile platform and used to take patient data. The data can be transmitted to the remote station by the mobile platform. The medical monitoring device(s) may be wirelessly coupled to the mobile platform. The system may include a server that can provide an electronic medical record to the remote station. The remote station may have a monitor that displays the electronic medical record and an image captured by a camera of the mobile platform. The system allows a doctor at the remote station to more fully examine a patient while viewing past medical records.
