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. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A docking station, comprising: a platform; a motion control mechanism operably coupled to said platform; a power source operably coupled to said motion control mechanism; a mount on said platform for attaching a peripheral device to said platform; a first signal interface interfacing said platform with a network; and a platform signal routing system configured at least in part to route signals between said first signal interface and said motion control mechanism.
2.
The docking station of claim 1, wherein said platform exhibits multiple-degree freedom of motion.
3.
The docking station of claim 1, wherein said first signal interface is configured as a wireless connection.
4.
The docking station of claim 3, wherein said platform exhibits multiple-degree freedom of motion.
5.
A docking station, comprising: a platform; a motion control mechanism operably coupled to said platform; a power source operably coupled to said motion control mechanism; a mount on said platform for attaching a peripheral device to said platform; a first signal interface interfacing said platform with a network; a second signal interface interfacing said platform with said peripheral device; and a platform signal routing system configured at least in part to route signals from said first signal interface to said motion control mechanism and from said second signal interface to said first signal interface.
6.
The docking station of claim 5, wherein said platform exhibits multiple-degree freedom of motion.
7.
The docking station of claim 5, wherein said first signal interface is configured as a wireless connection.
8.
The docking station of claim 7, wherein said platform exhibits multiple-degree freedom of motion.
9.
A docking station, comprising: a platform; a motion control mechanism operably coupled to said platform; a power source operably coupled to said motion control mechanism; a mount on said platform for attaching a peripheral device to said platform; a first high-speed serial interface interfacing said platform with a network; and a high-speed platform signal routing system configured at least in part to route signals between said first high-speed serial interface and said motion control mechanism
