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.

Abstract translation: 远程呈现机器人可以包括驱动系统，控制系统，成像系统和映射模块。 映射模块可以访问与该区域相关联的区域和标签的平面图。 在各种实施例中，每个标签可以包括标签坐标和标签信息，其可以包括标签注释。 标签识别系统可以识别当前位置的预定范围内的标签，并且控制系统可以基于识别的标签执行动作，其标签信息包括远程呈现机器人动作修改器。 远程呈现机器人可以独立于下部旋转上部部分。 远程终端可以允许操作者使用任何控制方法的组合来控制远程呈现机器人，包括通过在平面图上选择目的地，或者通过使用操纵杆或其它外围设备来选择实况视频馈送中的目的地。

Abstract: A remote control station that accesses one of at least two different robots that each have at least one unique robot feature. The remote control station receives information that identifies the robot feature of the accessed robot. The remote station displays a display user interface that includes at least one field that corresponds to the robot feature of the accessed robot. The robot may have a laser pointer and/or a projector.

Abstract: A remote controlled robot with a head that supports a monitor and is coupled to a mobile platform. The mobile robot also includes an auxiliary camera coupled to the mobile platform by a boom. The mobile robot is controlled by a remote control station. By way of example, the robot can be remotely moved about an operating room. The auxiliary camera extends from the boom so that it provides a relatively close view of a patient or other item in the room. An assistant in the operating room may move the boom and the camera. The boom may be connected to a robot head that can be remotely moved by the remote control station.
