Abstract

A method controls a remote robotic avatar based on a description of a physical object. A message transmitter transmits a message to a remote robotic avatar instructing the remote robotic avatar to identify a physical object at a remote second location, where an appearance of the physical object is described in the message. The message transmitter also transmits an instruction to the remote robotic avatar to approach the physical object at the remote second location and to initiate a teleoperative session between an entity in a first location and the remote robotic avatar at the remote second location.
