TLDR
In this paper, a system for controlling a plurality of robots (3104) through a single user interface (3200) includes at least one robot display window (3220) for each robot, with the at least robot control window configured to receive one or more commands for sending to the respective robot.Abstract:
Methods and system for controlling a plurality of robots (3104) through a single user interface (3200) includes at least one robot display window (3220) for each of the plurality of robots (3104) with the at least one robot display window illustrating one or more conditions of the respective one of the plurality of robots (3104). The user interface further includes at least one robot control window for each of the plurality of robots (3104) with the at least one robot control window configured to receive one or more commands for sending to the respective one of the plurality of robots (3104). The user interface further includes a multi-robot common window (3220) comprised of information received from each of the plurality of robots (3104).read more

Patent
Mobile tele-presence system with a microphone system
TL;DR: In this paper, the location of the microphones roughly coincides with the position of ears on a human body, which creates a mobile robot that more effectively simulates the tele-presence of an operator of the system.
Patent
Telepresence robot with a camera boom
TL;DR: In this paper, a remote controlled robot with a head that supports a monitor and is coupled to a mobile platform is described, where an auxiliary camera coupled to the mobile platform by a boom is connected to a robot head.

Autonomous navigation system and method
David J. Bruemmer,Douglas A. Few +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a robot platform includes perceptors, locomotors, and a system controller, which executes instructions for autonomously navigating a robot, on each iteration through an event timing loop, the acts of defining an event horizon based on the robot's current velocity, detecting a range to obstacles around the robot, testing for event horizon intrusion by determining if any range to the obstacles is within the event horizon, and adjusting rotational and translational velocity of the robot accordingly.

Method and system for remote control of mobile robot
TL;DR: In this article, a point-and-click interface for remote control of a mobile robot and an intuitive user interface for remotely controlling the robot is presented. Butler et al. used a head-up display (HOG) to guide the user toward a target location.
Patent
Entity display priority in a distributed geographic information system
TL;DR: In this article, a system for ranking geospatial entities is described, which consists of an interface for receiving ranking data about a plurality of entities and an entity ranking module that uses a ranking mechanism to generate place ranks for the entities based on the ranking data.
