Abstract: An autonomous, mobile robotic device (AMR) is configured with one or more UVC radiation sources, and operates to traverse a path while disinfecting an interior space. Each UVC radiation source is connected to the AMR by an articulating arm that is controlled to orient each source towards a feature or surface that is selected for disinfection during the time that the AMR is moving through the space. The location of each feature selected for disinfection can be mapped, and this map information, a current AMR location and pose can be used to generate signals that are used to control the articulating arm to orient each UVC lamp towards a feature that is selected for disinfection.

Abstract: A method includes receiving, at a mobile teleconferencing robot, a remote user input to alter a viewing state of a vision system of the robot. The vision system includes a forward imaging sensor arranged to capture a forward video feed, a right imaging sensor arranged to capture a right video feed, and a left imaging sensor arranged to capture a left video feed, each with respect to a forward drive direction of the mobile teleconferencing robot. The method includes altering the viewing state of the vision system by adjusting a tilt angle and/or a zoom level of the forward imaging sensor based on the remote user input and generating a combined video feed that provides an immersive peripheral view about the robot. The combined video feed is generated by combining the forward video feed with a portion of the right video feed and a portion of the left video feed.

Abstract: A videoconference multipoint control unit (MCU) automatically generates display layouts for videoconference endpoints. Display layouts are generated based on attributes associated with video streams received from the endpoints and display configuration information of the endpoints. An endpoint can include one or more attributes in each outgoing stream. Attributes can be assigned based on video streams' role, content, camera source, etc. Display layouts can be regenerated if one or more attributes change. A mixer can generate video streams to be displayed at the endpoints based on the display layout.

Abstract: A distance learning scenario includes a local classroom having a local videoconferencing device communicating with a remote videoconferencing device at a remote classroom. A first local camera captures images of the local participants, a second local camera captures images of an instructor, and a local display screen displays images of remote participants. At the remote location, a first remote camera captures images of remote participants, a first remote display screen displays images of local participants, and a second remote display screen displays images of the instructor. The local display screen is situated on a side of the local presenter that is substantially opposite to the side on which the first remote display screen is situated relative to the second remote display screen at the remote location to implement video-mirroring. The local and remote display screens display life-size images of the participants and the instructor.
