Abstract:
A moving device (70) determines an obstacle virtual existence region (72) of a simple graphic approximating a detected obstacle (71) to detect the obstacle (71) in a real time and determine a smooth avoidance path by calculation, thereby performing collision prediction.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: Provided is a robot having a moving mechanism for causing the robot to freely move and to make an emergency call on user's request. CONSTITUTION: The robot includes a communication unit(105) for wirelessly connecting to a communication line; a press button switch(104) for detecting a request commanded by a user; a storing part(103) for storing a message and a telephone number; and a telephone control unit for causing the communication unit(105) to dial the telephone number stored in the storing part(103) in response to the button switch(104) detecting the request provided by the user. So, the message stored in the storing part(103) as a voice message is forwarded to a receiver when the receiver responds.

Abstract:
Systems, devices, and methods are described for moving a patient to and from various locations, care units, etc., within a care facility. For example a transport and support vehicle includes a body structure including a plurality of rotatable members operable to frictionally interface the vehicle to a travel path and to move the vehicle along the travel path, and a surface structured and dimensioned to support an individual subject. A transport and support vehicle can include, for example, an elevator interface module that provides communicate and control of elevator controller.

Abstract:
A mobile robot (100) that includes a drive system (200), a controller (500) in communication with the dive system, and an electronic display (310, 312) supported above the drive system and in communication with the controller. The controller includes a central processing unit (502), a general purpose graphics processing unit (504), and memory (506) in electrical communication with the central processing unit and the general purpose graphics processing unit. Moreover, the controller has a display operating state and a driving operating state. The controller executes graphics computations on the general purpose graphics processing unit for displaying graphics on the electronic display during the display operating state; and the controller executes mobility computations on the general purpose graphics processing unit for issuing commands to the drive system during the driving operating state.
Abstract:
A telepresence robot may include a drive system, a control system, an imaging system, and a mapping module. The mapping module may access a plan view map of an area and tags associated with the area. In various embodiments, each tag may include tag coordinates and tag information, which may include a tag annotation. A tag identification system may identify tags within a predetermined range of the current position and the control system may execute an action based on an identified tag whose tag information comprises a telepresence robot action modifier. The telepresence robot may rotate an upper portion independent from a lower portion. A remote terminal may allow an operator to control the telepresence robot using any combination of control methods, including by selecting a destination in a live video feed, by selecting a destination on a plan view map, or by using a joystick or other peripheral device.
