1. A system, comprising:
a processor configured to:
operate a robot in an autonomous mode of operation to perform a plurality of tasks;
determine that a later task of the plurality of tasks needs human assistance while performing a current task of the plurality of tasks, wherein the later task is a different task than the current task; and
schedule the human assistance for the later task, wherein the human assistance is scheduled prior to a performance of the later task;
a communication interface coupled to the processor and configured to communicate with a teleoperator to perform the human assistance associated with the later task,
wherein the processor is configured to communicate with the teleoperator, via the communication interface, a request to provide an indication of a grasp strategy associated with the later task; and
receive the indication of the grasp strategy associated with the later task and implement the grasp strategy associated with the later task when the later task is scheduled to be performed.
