Providing logistical support for robots

1. A method comprising:

detecting, by a processor of a first robot, an error in attempting to perform a task;

sending, by the processor, a query to a centralized support center that is in communication with a plurality of robots, the plurality of robots including the first robot, wherein the query indicates the error encountered by the first robot and evidence of the error collected by the first robot;

receiving, by the processor, a proposed solution from the centralized support center, wherein the proposed solution was formulated from an analysis of the evidence provided by the first robot and further evidence of the error from a perspective of a second robot of the plurality of robots that is separate from the first robot; and

determining, by the processor, whether the proposed solution resolves the error; and

propagating, by the processor, the proposed solution to at least one of the plurality of robots,

wherein the at least one of the plurality of robots includes a robot that is encountering the error, is of a similar model with the first robot, or located in a similar geographic location with the first robot.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the evidence comprises sensor data collected by the first robot from an environment surrounding the first robot.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the evidence comprises a device log of the first robot.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the evidence comprises a video of an attempt by the first robot to resolve the error.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the further evidence comprises sensor data collected by the second robot of the plurality of robots from an environment surrounding the second robot.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the further evidence comprises a device log of the second robot of the plurality of robots.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second robot has reported encountering a second error that is similar to the error encountered by the first robot.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the proposed solution was formulated by:

using the evidence to generate a simulated environment that simulates an environment surrounding the first robot;

receiving a command from a party interacting with the simulated environment; and

mapping the command to an action to be taken by the first robot.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the simulated environment comprises a virtual reality environment.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the simulated environment comprises an augmented reality environment.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the command is a text command.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the command is a spoken command.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the command is a gesture.

14. The method of claim 8 , wherein the command is a keyboard command.

15. The method of claim 8 , wherein the mapping is scaled to the environment surrounding the first robot.

16. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

executing, by the processor, the proposed solution.

17. The method of claim 16 , further comprising:

storing, by the processor, a record of the error and the proposed solution, responsive to the proposed solution resolving the error.

18. The method of claim 16 , further comprising:

sending to a third robot of the plurality of robots, by the processor, a record of the error and the proposed solution, responsive to the proposed solution resolving the error.

19. A first robot comprising:

a processor; and

a computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:

detecting an error in attempting to perform a task;

sending a query to a centralized support center that is in communication with a plurality of robots, the plurality of robots including the first robot, wherein the query indicates the error encountered by the first robot and evidence of the error collected by the first robot;

receiving a proposed solution from the centralized support center, wherein the proposed solution was formulated from an analysis of the evidence provided by the first robot and further evidence of the error from a perspective of a second robot of the plurality of robots that is separate from the first robot; and

determining whether the proposed solution resolves the error; and

propagating the proposed solution to at least one of the plurality of robots,

wherein the at least one of the plurality of robots includes a robot that is encountering the error, is of a similar model with the first robot, or located in a similar geographic location with the first robot.

20. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by a processor of a first robot, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:

detecting an error in attempting to perform a task;

sending a query to a centralized support center that is in communication with a plurality of robots, the plurality of robots including the first robot, wherein the query indicates the error encountered by the first robot and evidence of the error collected by the first robot;

receiving a proposed solution from the centralized support center, wherein the proposed solution was formulated from an analysis of the evidence provided by the first robot and further evidence of the error from a perspective of a second robot of the plurality of robots that is separate from the first robot; and

determining whether the proposed solution resolves the error; and

propagating the proposed solution to at least one of the plurality of robots,

wherein the at least one of the plurality of robots includes a robot that is encountering the error, is of a similar model with the first robot, or located in a similar geographic location with the first robot.
