Telepresence and Teleoperation of robotic platforms expand the application domain of a robotic system. Unlike remotely operated robots, the telepresence systems built on autonomous platforms takes only a limited set of mission statements from the remote operator. The decisions and methods required for completing a mission on the workspace is still controlled autonomously by the robotic platform. We present such a system being implemented on the Nao humanoid robotic platform. Robot’s search targets and end-actions are specified remotely by the user. Some components of the system are implemented on remote servers and are amalgamated using the cloud based service demand architecture. The system was modeled using Agent Relation Charts, which are components in the Computational independent layer of the Hyperactive Transaction Model, HTM5. This is an extended version of the paper “An Auto Operated Telepresence System for the Nao Humanoid Robot”.
