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: Devices, systems, and methods for social behavior of a telepresence robot are disclosed herein. A telepresence robot may include a drive system, a control system, an object detection system, and a social behaviors component. The drive system is configured to move the telepresence robot. The control system is configured to control the drive system to drive the telepresence robot around a work area. The object detection system is configured to detect a human in proximity to the telepresence robot. The social behaviors component is configured to provide instructions to the control system to cause the telepresence robot to operate according to a first set of rules when a presence of one or more humans is not detected and operate according to a second set of rules when the presence of one or more humans is detected.

Abstract: A tele-presence system that includes a cart. The cart includes a robot face that has a robot monitor, a robot camera, a robot speaker, a robot microphone, and an overhead camera. The system also includes a remote station that is coupled to the robot face and the overhead camera. The remote station includes a station monitor, a station camera, a station speaker and a station microphone. The remote station can display video images captured by the robot camera and/or overhead camera. By way of example, the cart can be used in an operating room, wherein the overhead camera can be placed in a sterile field and the robot face can be used in a non-sterile field. The user at the remote station can conduct a teleconference through the robot face and also obtain a view of a medical procedure through the overhead camera.

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.
