A robot includes: a main body on which a person is carried; a handle to be gripped by the person on the main body; a moving device configured to move the main body; an operation terminal attachable to and detachable from the robot and configured to receive an input of a command related to an operation of the robot; and a control device configured to control the robot in accordance with the command received from the operation terminal. In a state where the operation terminal is attached to the robot, the operation terminal is disposed at a position where the operation terminal is operated while the handle is gripped by the person.

The present disclosure describes various aspects of remote presence interfaces (RPIs) for use on portable electronic devices (PEDs) to interface with remote presence devices. An RPI may allow a user to interact with a telepresence device, view a live video feed, provide navigational instructions, and/or otherwise interact with the telepresence device. The RPI may allow a user to manually, semi-autonomously, or autonomously control the movement of the telepresence device. One or more panels associated with a video feed, patient data, calendars, date, time, telemetry data, PED data, telepresence device data, healthcare facility information, healthcare practitioner information, menu tabs, settings controls, and/or other features may be utilized via the RPI.

A method for controlling a work vehicle is a method for controlling a work vehicle to which a work machine is detachably attached and includes causing the work vehicle to autonomously travel based on autonomous travel information set in association with the work machine, causing a user to select the autonomous travel information from a plurality of pieces of candidate information, and restraining selection of non-corresponding information that does not correspond to a type of the work machine attached to the work vehicle among the plurality of pieces of candidate information.

Some aspects provide a method for instructing operation of a robotic floor-cleaning device based on the position of the robotic floor-cleaning device within a two-dimensional map of the workspace. A two-dimensional map of a workspace is generated using inputs from sensors positioned on a robotic floor-cleaning device to represent the multi-dimensional workspace of the robotic floor-cleaning device. The two-dimensional map is provided to a user on a user interface. A user may adjust the boundaries of the two-dimensional map through the user interface and select settings for map areas to control device operation in various areas of the workspace.

A telepresence robot may include a drive system, a control system, an imaging system, and a mapping module. The mapping module may access a plan view map of an area and tags associated with the area. In various embodiments, each tag may include tag coordinates and tag information, which may include a tag annotation. A tag identification system may identify tags within a predetermined range of the current position and the control system may execute an action based on an identified tag whose tag information comprises a telepresence robot action modifier. The telepresence robot may rotate an upper portion independent from a lower portion. A remote terminal may allow an operator to control the telepresence robot using any combination of control methods, including by selecting a destination in a live video feed, by selecting a destination on a plan view map, or by using a joystick or other peripheral device.

An autonomous traveling robot operation system that improves the ease with which an autonomous traveling robot is operated by using a voice input and a handwritten input is provided. An autonomous traveling robot operation system including: an autonomous traveling robot configured to shoot an environment near the autonomous traveling robot and operates an object to be operated; a handwritten input interface configured to display an image shot by the autonomous traveling robot and receive a handwritten input to the displayed image; and a voice input interface configured to receive a voice input to the object to be operated, in which the autonomous traveling robot operation system operates the autonomous traveling robot in such a way that the autonomous traveling robot operates the object to be operated in accordance with instructions of the handwritten input and the voice input is provided.

An automated ground distance control system automatically controls a propulsion vehicle to travel a desired distance. Operator actuation of a manual override actuator is detected. Based on the detected actuation, the automated ground distance control system controls the propulsion vehicle to move a manual override distance. In one example, a configuration system exposes an operator interface for configuring the value of the manual override distance.

In an information processing method for remotely controlling a marine vessel using a mobile terminal, the mobile terminal detects that the mobile terminal is tilted from a neutral posture. Then, in response to detecting that the mobile terminal is tilted from the neutral posture, the mobile terminal transmits, to the marine vessel, a command for generating a propulsive force corresponding to at least one of a plurality of propulsion directions including a propulsion direction for translating the marine vessel in the front-rear direction, a propulsion direction for translating the marine vessel in the left-right direction, and a propulsion direction for turning the marine vessel in the left-right direction.

An operation device outputs a forward travel instruction to a rice transplanter when receiving a simultaneous pressing operation to change both an acceleration button and a deceleration button among a plurality of operation portions to the ON-state and, while maintaining the one operation portion out of the acceleration button and the deceleration button in the ON-state after the simultaneous pressing operation, changes the other operation portion from the ON-state to the OFF-state and then, when receiving the operation to change the other operation portion from the OFF-state to the ON-state, outputs a vehicle speed change instruction to the rice transplanter.

An automatic traveling system controls movement of a work vehicle by a near-field operation terminal capable of moving the work vehicle within a predetermined range with respect to the work vehicle, and a far-field operation terminal capable of moving the work vehicle out of the predetermined range with respect to the work vehicle. The automatic traveling system sets a near-field mode in which movement of the work vehicle by the near-field operation terminal is permitted, and a far-field mode in which movement of the work vehicle by the far-field operation terminal is permitted, and sets a movement content by which the near-field operation terminal is capable of moving the work vehicle, and a movement content by which the far-field operation terminal is capable of moving the work vehicle, based on the set mode.
