Abstract: An autonomous mobile robot includes a flexible member including a polymer layer extending along an entire length of the flexible member, and an end portion vertically movable away from a body of the robot. A first portion of a fastening mechanism extends along a first lateral edge of the polymer layer and a second portion of the fastening mechanism extends along a second lateral edge of the polymer layer. The first portion of the fastening mechanism is attached to the second portion of the fastening mechanism and forms a conduit to support the image capture device. The conduit includes an inner surface and an outer surface, and the outer surface of the conduit is at least partially defined by the polymer layer. An image capture device is mounted to an end portion of the flexible member.

Abstract: A health care system for a new mother to monitor and manage breastfeeding metric, patterns and quality for an infant, including: a) a base station in communication with a network, b) one or more sensors in communication with the base station, c) a new mother communication device in communication with the network; and d) a remote server and associated data store in communication with the network. The remote server is operative to: 1) access information from the information store indicating new mother typing traits, 2) receive information from the sensors indicating a breastfeeding quality for the infant, 3) receive information from the new mother communication device indicating a new mother perception of feeding quality for the infant, 4) recommend at least one new mother action as a function of the new mother typing traits, the breastfeeding quality measures and the new mother perception of the breastfeeding quality; and 5) transmit the recommended action to the new mother communication device.

Abstract: A health care system for a caregiver to monitor and manage sleep metric, patterns and quality for an infant, including: a) a base station in communication with a network, b) one or more sensors in communication with the base station, c) a caregiver communication device in communication with the network; and d) a remote server and associated data store in communication with the network.
