Embodiment Construction

[0011] A remote control robot system is disclosed which includes a robot and a remote control station. The user can control the movement of the robot from a remote control station. A remote control station can generate robot control commands that are transmitted over a broadband network. The robot has a video camera that generates video images that are transmitted over a network to a remote control station. Users can control the movement of the robot while watching video images provided by the robot's camera. If the robot cannot receive robot control commands within a certain time interval, the robot can automatically stop moving. If the station fails to receive an updated video image within a certain time interval, the remote station can send a stop command to the robot.

[0012] If there is no control command, or updating the video image provides a safety feature to compensate for transmission errors, then the robot will be stopped. For example, an auto-stop feature prev...

Abstract

A remote controlled robot system that includes a robot and a remote control station. A user can control movement of the robot from the remote control station. The remote control station may generate robot control commands that are transmitted through a broadband network. The robot has a camera that generates video images that are transmitted to the remote control station through the network. The user can control movement of the robot while viewing the video images provided by the robot camera. The robot can automatically stop movement if it does not receive a robot control command within a time interval . The remote control station may transmit a stop command to the robot if the station does not receive an updated video image within a time interval.

Description

technical field [0001] The disclosed subject matter relates generally to the field of mobile two-way teleconferencing. Background technique [0002] Robots are used in everything from remote control of hazardous materials to assisting in performing surgical procedures. For example, U.S. Patent No. 5,762,458 issued to Wang et al. discloses a system that allows surgeons to perform minimally invasive procedures by utilizing robotically controlled surgical instruments. In Wang's system, a robotic arm manipulates an endoscope with a video camera. The camera enables the surgeon to see the patient's operating field. [0003] Remote robots such as hazardous waste disposers and explosive detectors may contain cameras that allow operators to see remote sites. Canadian Patent No. 2289697 issued to Treviranus et al. discloses a teleconferencing platform with video cameras and monitors. The platform includes mechanisms for pivoting and lifting the camera and monitor. The Treviranus ...
