    Abstract: Remote presence systems and methods are presented. In one embodiment, a system may comprise a pilot workstation comprising a pilot computing station having a display, a microphone, a camera oriented to capture images of the pilot, a network connectivity subsystem, and a master input device such as a keyboard, mouse, or joystick. The pilot network connectivity subsystem may be operatively coupled to an electromechanically mobile workstation comprising a mobile base interconnected to a head component. The mobile workstation may comprise a display, a microphone, a camera oriented to capture images of nearby people and structures, and a workstation network connectivity subsystem that preferably is operatively coupled to the pilot network connectivity subsystem. Preferably by virtue of the system components, the pilot is able to remotely project a virtual presence of himself in the form of images, sound, and motion of the mobile workstation at the location of the mobile workstation.

    Abstract: Configurations are described for maintaining a continuity and quality of wireless signal connection between a mobile device and systems accessible through the internet. In particular, configurations are disclosed to address the challenge of a mobile device that moves through a physical environment wherein the best wireless connectivity performance is achieved by switching between available connection sources and constantly evaluating a primary connection with other available connections that may be switched in to become a new primary connection. The mobile device may be self-propelled or carried by some other mobilizing means.

    Abstract: Implementations of the disclosed subject matter provide methods of transmitting, from a first user device, an authorization to one or more other user devices to receive one or more images captured by a first sensor of a mobile robot device, where the first user device controls the mobile robot device. The first user device may receive acknowledgement from the one or more other user devices to receive the one or more images captured by the first sensor of the mobile robot device. The mobile robot device may transmit, to the first user device and the one or more other user devices based on the acknowledgement, the one or more first images captured by the first sensor of the mobile robot as the mobile robot device moves within the area based on at least one first control operation received from the first user device.
