Abstract
Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for selective robot deployment. In various implementations, a context of a user may be determined based at least in part on a record of one or more computing interactions associated with the user. In various implementations, a robot-performable task of the user may be identified based at least in part on the context. In various implementations, a measure of potential or actual interest of the user in deploying a robot to perform the robot-performable task may be determined. In various embodiments, the robot may be selectively deployed based on the measure of potential or actual interest.
Claims14
A method, comprising:
- determining, by one or more processors, based at least in part on a record of one or more computing interactions associated with a user, that the user is scheduled to attend an event at a particular time and location;
- determining, by one or more of the processors, based on one or more schedules associated with one or more robots in a database, that attendance to the event is a robot-performable task performable by at least one of the one or robots in lieu of the user;
- determining, by one or more of the processors, based on a position coordinate provided by a mobile computing device operated by the user, that the user will be unable to attend the event;
- and
- deploying, by one or more of the processors, based on the determination that the user will not be able to attend the event based on the position coordinate a given robot of the one or more robots to attend the event at the particular time and location in lieu of the user.
A method comprising:
- identifying, by one or more processors, a robot-performable task of potential interest to a user;
- predicting, by one or more of the processors, a measure of potential interest of the user in deploying a robot to perform the robot-performable task, wherein the measure of potential interest is predicted without explicit user input based on a record of one or more computing interactions associated with the user;
- based on a determination that the predicted measure of potential interest satisfies a first interest threshold, selecting, by one or more of the processors, based on one or more schedules associated with one or more robots in a database, a given robot to perform the robot-performable task in lieu of the user;
- and
- deploying, by one or more of the processors, the given robot to perform the robot-performable task in lieu of the user.
A system comprising:
- one or more computers configured to perform operations comprising:
- determining, based at least in part on one or more signals generated by a computing device operated by a user, that the user is scheduled to attend an event at a particular time and location;
- determining, based on one or more schedules associated with one or more robots in a database, that attendance to the event is a robot-performable task performable by at least one of the one or robots in lieu of the user;
- determining, based on a position coordinate provided by the computing device operated by the user, that the user will be unable to attend the event;
- and
- deploying, based on the determination that the user will not be able to attend the event based on the position coordinate a given robot of the one or more robots to attend the event at the particular time and location in lieu of the user.
