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.
