Abstract
A robot for capturing image frames of subjects in response to a request includes a base, a robot head, a camera, a vertical positioning mechanism, and a control system. The base has a transport mechanism for controllably positioning the robot along a lateral surface. The vertical positioning mechanism couples the robot head to the base and adjusts a vertical distance between the robot head and the support surface. The control system controls image capture of the camera, the transport mechanism, and the vertical positioning mechanism.
