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 proctoring system that includes a communication device coupled to a remote station. The remote station has a visual display that displays first information relating to an action that causes an effect on an object, and simultaneously displays second information relating to the effect on the object. The remote station includes at least one input device that allows a communication to be transmitted by an operator to the communication device. By way of example, during the deployment of a heart stent, a specialist doctor may remotely view real-time fluoroscopy imagery and patient hemodynamics. The specialist can remotely proctor medical personnel on the proper orientation and timing requirements for installing the stent.
Abstract:
A robot system that includes a remote station and a robot face. The robot face includes a camera that is coupled to a monitor of the remote station and a monitor that is coupled to a camera of the remote station. The robot face and remote station also have speakers and microphones that are coupled together. The robot face may be coupled to a boom. The boom can extend from the ceiling of a medical facility. Alternatively, the robot face may be attached to a medical table with an attachment mechanism. The robot face and remote station allows medical personnel to provide medical consultation through the system.
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:
A robot system (10) that includes a robot (12) and a remote station (16). The remote station (16) may be a personal computer (22) coupled to the robot through a broadband network (18). A user at the remote station (16) may receive both video and audio from a camera (26) and a microphone (28) of the robot (12), respectively. The remote station (16) may include a visual display that displays both a first screen field and a second screen field. The first screen field may display a video image provided by a robot camera (26). The second screen field may display information such as patient records. The information from the second screen field may be moved to the first screen field and also transmitted to the robot (12) for display by a robot monitor (24). The user at the remote station (16) may annotate the information displayed by the robot monitor (24) to provide a more active video-conferencing experience.
Abstract:
A remote controlled robot system that includes a mobile robot and a remote control station. The mobile robot includes a camera that captures an image. The remote control station may include a monitor that displays the image captured by the robot camera. A projector is coupled to the remote control station to project the image. The system allows for the projection of the image captured by the robot to a relatively large viewing audience. The audience can thus view images provided by a moving robot.
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:
A robot system that includes a remote control station and a robot that has a camera, a monitor and a microphone. The robot includes a user interface that allows a user to link the remote control station to access the robot. By way of example, the user interface may include a list of remote control stations that can be selected by a user at the robot site to link the robot to the selected control station. The user interface can display a connectivity prompt that allows a user at the robot site to grant access to the robot. The connectivity prompt is generated in response to a request for access by a remote control station. The robot may include a laser pointer and a button that allows a user at the robot site to turn the laser pointer on and off.
Abstract:
A robot system that includes a robot face with a monitor, a camera, a speaker and a microphone. The system may include a removable handle attached to the robot face. The robot face may be controlled through a remote controller. The handle can be remove and replaced with another handle. The remote controller can be covered with a sterile drape or sterilized after each use of the system. The handle and remote controller allow the robot to be utilized in a clean environment such as an operating room without requiring the robot face to be sterilized after a medical procedure. The robot face can be attached to a boom with active joints. The robot face may include a user interface that allows a user to individually move the active joints of the boom.
