A method for using a control center at a remote site to control operation of a robotic medical device system at a local site includes transmitting a control signal from the control center to the robotic medical device system, determining a delay in transmission of the control signal, comparing the delay to a threshold delay value and operating the robotic medical device system based on the comparison of the delay to the threshold delay value.

A control system, method and computer program product cooperate to assist control for an autonomous robot. An interface receives recognition information from an autonomous robot, said recognition information including candidate target objects to interact with the autonomous robot. A display control unit causes a display image to be displayed on a display of candidate target objects, wherein at least two of the candidate target objects are displayed with an associated indication of a target object score.
