    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: A server includes circuitry to receive, from an information processing apparatus, a print condition, a print file to be printed, and position information of the information processing apparatus, generate a travel route of a self-propelled image forming apparatus based on the position information of the information processing apparatus, position information of the self-propelled image forming apparatus, and map data, instruct the self-propelled image forming apparatus to move to a destination, determine, in response to a print continuation request received from the self-propelled image forming apparatus, whether a continued-printing operation is allowed for the self-propelled image forming apparatus, instruct the self-propelled image forming apparatus to stay at a current location when the circuitry determines that the continued-printing operation is allowed, identify continued-printing print data transmitted from the information processing apparatus, and transmit the continued-printing print data to the self-propelled image forming apparatus being stayed at the current location.
