Technology is described for visually communicating using a robotic device. An example of a method can include a video feed sent from the video camera of the robotic device to the remote user. A projection surface identified in the video feed can then be sent to the remote user using an application. Another operation can be obtaining an image from the remote user using the application. The image created by the remote user can then be projected on the projection surface.

Visual communication using a robotic device

A method is provided for initiating a telepresence session with a person, using a robot. The method includes receiving a request to host a telepresence session at the robot and receiving an identification for a target person for the telepresence session by the robot. The robot then searches a current location for a person. If a person is found, a determination is made regarding whether the person is the target person. If the person found is not the target person, the person is prompted for a location for the target person. The robot moves to the location given by the person in response to the prompt.
