The patent application (Publication Number: US20240001556A1) describes a method, logic, and framework for remotely operating a robotic assistant while ensuring privacy-related instructions are implemented. The method involves obtaining a request to operate the robotic assistant, identifying a suitable teleoperations system, and implementing privacy-related instructions. These instructions may include rendering images from the robotic assistant's sensors on a visual interface with specific privacy measures in place.

The logic encoded in computer-readable media and the framework described in the patent application further elaborate on the process of remotely operating the robotic assistant. The framework includes multiple robotic assistants, teleoperations systems, and a management system to facilitate remote operation while maintaining privacy. The system allows for tasks to be assigned to the robotic assistant, ensuring that the teleoperations system and operator are suited for the task at hand. Additionally, privacy-related instructions can define geofenced areas, obfuscate specific items in images, and ensure data privacy when operating the robotic assistant remotely. Overall, the patent application outlines a comprehensive approach to remote robotic assistance with a strong emphasis on privacy considerations throughout the operation.
