First Claim:
Show all 49 claims
What is claimed is:     1. A robotic telepresence system, comprising:
  • a station at a first geographic location, the station having a display; and
  • a robot at a second geographic location, wherein the robot is responsive to the station, senses predetermined types of information, and communicates that information back to the station, the robot including:
    • at least one first sensor to sense first image information; and
    • at least one second sensor to sense second image information, wherein the robot transmits the sensed information from the at least one first sensor and from the at least tone second sensor to the station;
  • wherein the first image information from the at least one first sensor is displayed on the display at a first scale, and
  • the second image information from the at least one second sensor is displayed on the display, the second image information being displayed adjacent the first image information, wherein at least a portion of the second image information is displayed at a second scale higher than the first scale.
