What is claimed is: 1. A method for conducting a business tele-conference, comprising: moving a robot that has a screen, a camera, a speaker and a microphone, across a surface of a business facility with at least one signal from a first remote station that has a screen, a camera, a speaker and a mi
What is claimed is: 1. A method for conducting a business tele-conference, comprising: moving a robot that has a screen, a camera, a speaker and a microphone, across a surface of a business facility with at least one signal from a first remote station that has a screen, a camera, a speaker and a microphone; transmitting images and sound between the first robot and the first remote station and displaying the image captured by the remote station camera on the robot screen; moving the robot across the surface of the business facility with at least one signal from a second remote station that has a screen, a camera, a speaker and a microphone; transmitting images and sound between the robot and the second remote station; and, arbitrating to control access to the robot by either the first remote station or the second remote station. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein a user at the first remote station gives a presentation through the robot to an audience within viewing distance of the robot. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein a user at the remote station moves the robot into at least one office to conduct a teleconference with one or more occupants of the office. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the user is a manager and the office occupants are employees. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the user at the first remote station attends a meeting through the robot. 6. The method of claim 5, wherein the meeting is unscheduled. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the tele-conference occurs after the joining of a business entity at the first remote station and a business entity at the robot. 8. A method for assisting in the integration of a first business entity with a second business entity, comprising: moving a robot that has a screen, a camera, a speaker and a microphone, across a surface of a business facility of the first business entity with at least one signal from a first remote station that has a screen, a camera, a speaker and a microphone and is located at the second business entity; moving the robot across the surface of the business facility with at least one signal from a second remote station that has a screen, a camera, a speaker and a microphone; transmitting images and sound between the robot and the first remote station and displaying the image captured by the remote station camera on the robot screen; transmitting images and sound between the robot and the second remote station; and, arbitrating to control access to the robot by either the first remote station or the second remote station. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein a user at the first remote station gives a presentation through the robot to an audience within viewing distance of the robot. 10. The method of claim 8, wherein a user at the first remote station moves the robot into a plurality of offices to conduct a teleconference with one or more occupants of each office. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein the user is a manager and the office occupants are employees. 12. The method of claim 8, wherein the user at the first remote station attends a meeting through the robot. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein the meeting is unscheduled. 14. The method of claim 8, wherein the tele-conference occurs after the joining of a business entity at the remote station and a business entity at the robot.
