METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SWITCHING BETWEEN LOCAL AND REMOTE GUIDANCE INSTRUCTIONS FOR AN AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE

A method for switching between local and remote guidance instructions (312) for autonomous vehicles (102) includes, in response to monitoring one or more actions of objects (105) detected in a scene in which the autonomous robotic system (102) is moving, causing the autonomous robotic system (102) to slow or cease movement in the scene. The method includes detecting a trigger condition based on movement of the autonomous robotic system (102) in the scene. In response to detecting the trigger condition, the method includes transmitting a remote guidance request (310) to a remote server (120) and receiving remote guidance instructions (312) from the remote server (120) and causing the autonomous robotic system (102) to begin operating according to the remote guidance instructions (312).
