Apparatus and methods for remotely controlling robotic devices

A method of providing transmissions to a remotely controlled apparatus by a learning controller, the method comprising:

• configuring the learning controller to monitor one or more sensors configured to provide information related to a state of the remotely controlled apparatus disposed remotely from the learning controller;
• enabling the learning controller to transmit a wireless command to the remotely controlled apparatus;
• performing a plurality of training sessions, each of the plurality of training sessions comprising:
• determining the state of the remotely controlled apparatus based on the information from the one or more sensors;
• receiving an indication of an activation of a user command;
• and
• incrementing an efficacy parameter corresponding to a contemporaneous occurrence of (i) the transmission of the wireless command to the remotely controlled apparatus and (ii) the receiving of the identification of the activation of the user command;
• based on the incrementing of the efficacy parameter corresponding to the contemporaneous occurrence, developing an association between the wireless command and the information from the one or more sensors;
• assigning a tag configured to identify the developed association between the wireless command and the information from the one or more sensors;
• and
• causing the remotely controlled apparatus to execute an action based on the assigned tag.
