Classification: CPC G  B | IPC B  G

Claim 8:
9. An autonomous robotic system comprising:
a processor; and
a memory that stores programming instructions that are configured to cause the processor to guide the autonomous robotic system by:
monitoring one or more actions of one or more objects detected in a scene in which the autonomous robotic system is moving to predict trajectories of the one or more objects;
in response to a trajectory of at least one detected object predicted to cause the autonomous robotic system to slow or cease movement at a future point in time, transmitting a remote guidance request to a remote server;
after transmitting the remote guidance request, receiving remote guidance instructions from the remote server; and
causing the autonomous robotic system to begin operating according to the remote guidance instructions, wherein operating according to the remote guidance instructions comprises:
reducing a minimum allowable buffer size within which the autonomous robotic system may approach one or more of the objects,
reducing a maximum allowable speed of the autonomous robotic system,
causing the autonomous robotic system to move in the scene according to the minimum allowable buffer size and the maximum allowable speed while receiving a plurality of keepalive messages from the remote server, and
in response to not receiving an expected keepalive message, reverting the minimum allowable buffer size and the maximum allowable speed to previous values.
