Abstract
A robot is operated in an autonomous mode of operation to perform a plurality of tasks. It is determined that a later task of the plurality of tasks needs human assistance while performing a current task of the plurality of tasks. The human assistance is scheduled for the later task. A teleoperator is communicated with to perform the human assistance associated with the later task.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a communication interface configured to receive an indication that a robot of a plurality of robots requires on demand teleoperation;
- and
- a processor coupled to the communication interface and configured to:
- monitor the plurality of robots;
- in response to receiving the indication, display robot state and context information associated with the robot, wherein the robot is performing a current task associated with a plurality of tasks and determined that a later task associated with the plurality of tasks needs human assistance while performing the current task, wherein the later task is a different task than the current task, wherein the human assistance is scheduled prior to a performance of the later task;
- map corresponding control inputs for the robot received via the on demand teleoperation;
- and
- resume monitoring the plurality of robots in response to the robot resuming autonomous operation.
5 more elements
A method, comprising:
- monitoring a plurality of robots;
- receiving an indication that a robot of the plurality of robots requires on demand teleoperation;
- in response to receiving the indication, displaying robot state and context information associated with the robot, wherein the robot is performing a current task associated with a plurality of tasks and determined that a later task associated with the plurality of tasks needs human assistance while performing the current task, wherein the later task is a different task than the current task, wherein the human assistance is scheduled prior to a performance of the later task;
- mapping corresponding control inputs for the robot received via the on demand teleoperation;
- and
- resuming monitoring the plurality of robots in response to the robot resuming autonomous operation.
3 more elements
A computer program product embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium and comprising computer instructions for:
- monitoring a plurality of robots;
- receiving an indication that a robot of the plurality of robots requires on demand teleoperation;
- in response to receiving the indication, displaying robot state and context information associated with the robot, wherein the robot is performing a current task associated with a plurality of tasks and determined that a later task associated with the plurality of tasks needs human assistance while performing the current task, wherein the later task is a different task than the current task, wherein the human assistance is scheduled prior to a performance of the later task;
- mapping corresponding control inputs for the robot received via the on demand teleoperation;
- and
- resuming monitoring the plurality of robots in response to the robot resuming autonomous operation.
