Abstract

Methods and systems to remotely operate robotic devices are provided. A number of embodiments allow users to remotely operate robotic devices using generalized consumer devices (e.g., cell phones). Additional embodiments provide for a platform to allow communication between consumer devices and the robotic devices. Further embodiments allow for training robotic devices to operate autonomously by training the robotic device with machine learning algorithms using data collected from scalable methods of controlling robotic devices.
