1. A method for performing telexistence, the method comprising:
receiving, by a processor, a request to control a humanoid from a remote user;
determining, by the processor, acceptance of the request by a host;
for the request being determined as accepted, verifying, by the processor, receipt of a set of initiating signals;
for the set of initiating signals being received:
receiving a humanoid mapping method chosen by the remote user, and
controlling the humanoid based on the humanoid mapping method determined by the remote user; and
for the set of initiating signals not being received, terminating, by the processor, the request to control the humanoid.
 
11. A system for performing telexistence, the system comprising:
a humanoid; and
a processor in communication with the humanoid, the processor is configured to:
receive a request to control the humanoid from a remote user;
determine acceptance of the request by a host;
for the request being determined as accepted, verify receipt of a set of initiating signals;
for the set of initiating signals being received:
receive a humanoid mapping method chosen by the remote user, and
control the humanoid based on the humanoid mapping method determined by the remote user; and
for the set of initiating signals not being received, terminate the request to control the humanoid.
