System and method to determine operational workarounds for anomalies during operation of a robotic system

Abstract

A system and method for detecting and resolving anomalies in a remotely operated device system is provided. The system includes: an anomaly detection module, executed by a processor, configured to detect an anomaly in telemetry collected during execution of a procedure by a remotely operated device, the procedure comprising a sequence of commands for the remotely operated device to follow; an anomaly workaround module, executed by the a processor, implementing a trained policy configured to generate a set of one or more higher level commands that modifies the procedure to respond to the anomaly, the trained policy configured using a reinforcement learning algorithm; and a controller module, executed by the a processor, configured to translate or interpret the set of one or more higher level more commands into a set of one or more lower level commands to be executed by the remotely operated device.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
