A tele-presence system that includes a cart. The cart includes a robot face that has a robot monitor, a robot camera, a robot speaker, a robot microphone, and an overhead camera. The system also includes a remote station that is coupled to the robot face and the overhead camera. The remote station includes a station monitor, a station camera, a station speaker and a station microphone. The remote station can display video images captured by the robot camera and/or overhead camera. By way of example, the cart can be used in an operating room, wherein the overhead camera can be placed in a sterile field and the robot face can be used in a non-sterile field. The user at the remote station can conduct a teleconference through the robot face and also obtain a view of a medical procedure through the overhead camera.

1. A tele-presence system, comprising: a cart, said cart includes a robot face that has a robot monitor, a robot camera, a robot speaker, a robot microphone, and an overhead camera distinct from said robot camera; and,a remote station that is coupled to said robot face and said overhead camera, said remote station includes a station monitor, a station camera, a station speaker and a station microphone, wherein at least one of said robot camera and said overhead camera can be controlled from the remote station. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein said remote station can display a video image from either said robot camera or said overhead camera. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein said remote station monitor simultaneously displays a video image from said robot camera and a video image from said overhead camera. 4. The system of claim 1, wherein said remote station determines an optimal view of an object and displays a video image from said robot camera or said overhead camera, whichever provides said optimal view. 5. The system of claim 1, wherein said robot camera automatically moves to capture a video image of a field of view that is at least substantially the same as a field of view of said overhead camera. 6. The system of claim 1, wherein said overhead camera automatically moves to capture a video image of a field of view that is at least substantially the same as a field of view of said robot camera. 7. The system of claim 1, wherein said cart includes an overhead microphone. 8. The system of claim 7, wherein said remote station includes an input that allows a user to switch between said robot microphone and said overhead microphone. 9. The system of claim 7, wherein said sound generated by said station speakers is automatically switched between said robot microphone or said overhead microphone based on a characteristic of sound captured by said robot and overhead microphones. 10. The system of claim 1, wherein said cart includes an actuator that can vary a height of said robot face. 11. The system of claim 1, wherein said cart includes an articulated arm that is coupled to and can move said robot face, and a boom that is coupled to said overhead camera. 12.

A method for remotely viewing a field of view, comprising: moving a cart, the cart includes a robot face that has a robot monitor, a robot camera, a robot speaker, a robot microphone, and an overhead camera distinct from said robot camera;transmitting to a remote station a video image captured by the robot camera or a video image captured by the overhead camera, the remote station includes a station monitor, a station camera, a station speaker and a station microphone; and,controlling at least one of said robot camera and said overhead camera in response to a command received from the remote station. 17. The method of claim 16, wherein the video images captured by the robot and overhead cameras are both transmitted to the remote station. 18. The method of claim 17, wherein the remote station monitor simultaneously displays the video image from the robot camera and the video image from the overhead camera. 19. The method of claim 16, wherein the remote station determines an optimal view of an object and displays a video image from robot camera or the overhead camera, whichever provides the optimal view. 20. The method of claim 16, further comprising automatically moving the robot camera to capture a video image of a field of view that is at least substantially the same as a field of view of the overhead camera. 21. The method of claim 16, further comprising automatically moving the overhead camera to capture a video image of a field of view that is at least substantially the same as a field of view of the robot camera. 22. The method of claim 16, further comprising capturing sound with an overhead microphone of the cart. 23. The method of claim 22, further comprising selecting an input to switch between the robot microphone and the overhead microphone. 24. The method of claim 22, further comprising automatically switching between the robot microphone and the overhead microphone based on a characteristic of the sound captured by the robot and overhead microphones. 25. The method of claim 16, further comprising varying a height of the robot face. 26. The method of claim 25, wherein the robot face is moved in two degrees of freedom. 27. The method of claim 16, wherein the cart is moved within an operating room. 28. The method of claim 27, further comprising moving the overhead camera above a sterile field. 29. The method of claim 16, further comprising entering input into the robot face. 30. The method of claim 16, further comprising replacing a detachable handle of the cart.
