A robotic system that includes a remote controlled robot. The robot may
include a camera, a monitor and a holonomic platform all attached to a
robot housing. The robot may be controlled by a remote control station
that also has a camera and a monitor. The remote control station may be
linked to a base station that is wirelessly coupled to the robot. The
cameras and monitors allow a care giver at the remote location to monitor
and care for a patient through the robot. The holonomic platform allows
the robot to move about a home or facility to locate and/or follow a
patient.
