Abstract: Ways to associate source information with a media item are described. Source information may be validated. A media sourcing engine may receive a selected media item, collect source information associated with the selected media item, and associate the source information with the selected media item. The media source engine may be associated with, or otherwise utilized by, various publication platforms, such as social media sites, content hosting sites, etc. Source information may be associated with a media item by generating augmented media content that may be added to, embedded into, and/or otherwise associated with content associated with a received media item.

Abstract: A telerobotic system includes a user operated input device and a distantly located robotic system. The robotic system is in communication with the input device through a communication channel. The input device transmits information relating to the current state of the input device only when the current state differs from a just previous current state. The robotic system receives such transmitted information and changes state in response thereto. The robotic system may be operatively connected to a second input device to mechanically drive the second input device. The second input device, in communication with a second robotic system via a second communication channel, may then drive the second robotic system. As such, a user manipulating the input device effectively operates the second robotic system.
