Abstract
Robotic devices may be operated by users remotely. A learning controller apparatus may detect remote transmissions comprising user control instructions. The learning apparatus may receive sensory input conveying information about robot's state and environment (context). The learning apparatus may monitor one or more wavelength (infrared light, radio channel) and detect transmissions from user remote control device to the robot during its operation by the user. The learning apparatus may be configured to develop associations between the detected user remote control instructions and actions of the robot for given context. When a given sensory context occurs, the learning controller may automatically provide control instructions to the robot that may be associated with the given context. The provision of control instructions to the robot by the learning controller may obviate the need for user remote control of the robot thereby enabling autonomous operation by the robot.
