Abstract:

A system and methods for assessing an environment are disclosed. A method includes causing a robot to transmit data to first and second user devices, causing the robot to execute a first action, and, responsive to a second instruction, causing the robot to execute a second action. At least one user device is outside the environment of the robot. At least one action includes recording a video of at least a portion of the environment, displaying the video in real time on both user devices, and storing the video on a cloud-based network. The other action includes determining a first physical location of the robot, determining a desired second physical location of the robot, and propelling the robot from the first location to the second location. Determining the desired second location is responsive to detecting a touch on a touchscreen video feed displaying the video in real time.
