Base Claim:
1. An automated task performing system comprising: an imaging device; at least one data store; an automated machine; and a computing device in communication with the imaging device and the automated machine, wherein the computing device has at least one computer processor and at least one memory having processor-executable instructions stored thereon, and wherein the computing device, in response to execution of the processor-executable instructions by the at least one computer processor, is configured to at least: capture at least a first image of an object using the imaging device; recognize a first visual cue expressed within at least the first image, wherein the first visual cue is associated with at least a portion of the object; determine a state or condition of the object based at least in part on the first visual cue; determine an association between the state or condition of the object and at least one predetermined task to be performed upon the object based at least in part on information regarding a plurality of predetermined tasks maintained in the at least one data store; identify at least one action required for performing the at least one predetermined task based at least in part on the association, wherein the at least one action is to be executed by the automated machine; provide an electronic instruction for executing the at least one action to the automated machine; identify a desired state or condition of an environment in which the object is provided, wherein the desired state or condition of the environment is associated with the at least one predetermined task; capture at least a second image of the object using the imaging device; determine a state or condition of the environment based at least in part on the second image; determine that the state or condition of the environment is consistent with the desired state or condition of the environment; and in response to determining that the state or condition of the environment is consistent with the desired state or condition of the environment, store an indication that the at least one predetermined task has been performed.

Claim 2:
2. The automated task performing system of claim 1 , wherein the computing device is further configured to at least: identify a context associated with the first visual cue, wherein the association is determined based at least in part on the context.
