Abstract
A remote control station that accesses one of at least two different robots that each have at least one unique robot feature. The remote control station receives information that identifies the robot feature of the accessed robot. The remote station displays a display user interface that includes at least one field that corresponds to the robot feature of the accessed robot. The robot may have a laser pointer and/or a projector.
Claims15
A remote station that can access at least two different robots comprising:
- a remote control station that accesses one of the at least two different robots, each of said at least two different robots is capable of two-way video and audio communication with said remote control station, said at least two different robots include a first robot having a first capability and a second robot not having said first capability, said remote control station receives information that identifies said accessed robot, said remote control station displays a display user interface that displays at least one field that corresponds to said first capability when said first robot is accessed and does not display said at least one field when said second robot is accessed.
A robotic system, comprising:
- a plurality of robots capable of two-way video and audio communication, including a first robot having a first capability and a second robot not having said first capability;
- and,
- a remote control station that accesses one of said robots, said remote station receives information that identifies said robot, said remote control station displays a display user interface that displays at least one field that corresponds to said first capability when said first robot is accessed and does not display said at least one field when said second robot is accessed.
A method for creating a display user interface for a robot system, comprising:
- accessing from a remote control station one of a plurality of robots capable of two-way video and audio communication with said remote control station, including a first robot having a first capability and a second robot not having said first capability;
- receiving at the remote control station information regarding the accessed robot;
- and,
- displaying a display user interface at the remote control station, the display user interface displays at least one field that corresponds to said first capability when said first robot is accessed and does not display said at least one field when said second robot is accessed.
