Today's Internet technology provides a convenient way for us to develop an integrated network environment for the diversified applications of different robotic systems. To be successful in real-world applications, Internet-based robots require a high degree of autonomy and local intelligence to deal with the restricted bandwidth and arbitrary transmission delay of the Internet. This paper descr...

Background Initiation of an immuno-modulatory treatment is a vulnerable part the patient journey. Distance monitoring via reported outcomes (PROs) and wearables are used to assess efficacy. In combination with remote vital sign measurement tele-nursing, care may also increase safety save resources. However, it unclear how such telemedicine services integrate into clinical workflow. Objectives F...

In this paper we summarize the results we have obtained in building a testbed for tele-collaboration. It is based on a highly accurate and precise stereo algorithm. The results demonstrate the live (on-line) recovery of 3-D models of a dynamically changing environment and the simultaneous display and manipulation of the models. Virtual tele-collaboration may soon change completely our way of co...

In contrast to specialized video servers, advanced multimedia applications for tele-shopping, tele-teaching and news-on-demand exhibit a mixed workload with massive access to conventional, “discrete” data such as text documents, images and indexes as well as requests for “continuous data” such as video. This paper briefly describes the prototype of a multimedia information server that stores di...
