Abstract:
1. A method performed by a computing system having a processor and memory, the method comprising: receiving from a robotic device an identifier of an object, wherein the robotic device includes a mechanical actuator; based on the identifier, determining a manufacturer of the object; identifying in a database first instructions associated with the identifier of the object, wherein the first instructions are manufacturer instructions associated with the manufacturer of the object, and wherein the manufacturer instructions are executable by the robotic device to interact with the object; sending a query to the robotic device regarding an interaction between the robotic device and the object; receiving a query response indicating information associated with the interaction between the robotic device and the object; based on the query response, modifying, by the computing system, the first instructions to obtain second instructions that are executable by the robotic device to perform the interaction with the object; and sending the second instructions to the robotic device.
