Abstract
A docking station includes a platform, a motion control mechanism, a power source, a mount, a signal interface, and a platform signal routing system. The power source powers the motion control mechanism to move the platform. The mount allows attaching a peripheral device to the platform. The signal interface interfaces the platform with a network. The platform signal routing system routes signals from the signal interface to the motion control mechanism.
