Abstract

A method to enable autonomous and tele-operation of tele-operated robots for maintenance of a property around known and unknown obstacles may include using an unmanned aerial vehicle for obtaining additional data relating to the property and obstacles within the property and plan a path around the obstacles using data from sensors on-board the tele-operated robot and the aerial image. A method may also provide optimization of total time needed for performing the property maintenance and the labor costs in situations where manual intervention is needed for navigating the tele-operated robot around obstacles on the property or for removing obstacles on the property. Embodiments further include systems and devices practicing the method.
