  • Publication number: 20200273565
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes various aspects of remote presence interfaces (RPIs) for use on portable electronic devices (PEDs) to interface with remote presence devices. An RPI may allow a user to interact with a telepresence device, view a live video feed, provide navigational instructions, and/or otherwise interact with the telepresence device. The RPI may allow a user to manually, semi-autonomously, or autonomously control the movement of the telepresence device. One or more panels associated with a video feed, patient data, calendars, date, time, telemetry data, PED data, telepresence device data, healthcare facility information, healthcare practitioner information, menu tabs, settings controls, and/or other features may be utilized via the RPI.

  • Patent number: 10591921
    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 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 map, or by using a joystick or other peripheral device.

  • Patent number: 9479732
    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.
