Abstract

A robot system (1600) includes a mobile robot (100) having a controller (500) executing a control system (510) for controlling operation of the robot, a cloud computing service (1620) in communication with the controller of the robot, and a remote computing device (310) in communication with the cloud computing service. The remote computing device communicates with the robot through the cloud computing service.
