Systems and methods for assisting a robotic apparatus

This invention describes a system where a robot, while performing a task like navigating a floor, can detect when it's stuck or can't proceed, perhaps due to an obstacle. When this happens, the robot stops, waits for a short period (potentially sending a text message to a human operator), and then attempts to figure out how to solve the problem on its own.

Why it matters: Filed before significant advancements in AI and machine learning for robotics. The robot's ability to 'attempt to resolve the issue itself' is far more capable today due to improved perception, planning, and decision-making algorithms.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedRobot hardware, sensors, complex control software.
