Abstract: A method for a robot to autonomously interact with elevator controls comprising: while physically traversing a route to a target location within an environment, determining that the route includes navigating to a particular floor that is different than a current floor of the robot; navigating to a set of one or more elevators along the route; identifying a location of an elevator call button corresponding to the set of one or more elevators; navigating to the location of the elevator call button and pressing the elevator call button, wherein pressing the elevator call button comprises: rotating the robot in place until a vertical structure faces the elevator call button; extending or retracting the vertical structure until a button pushing element is aligned with the elevator call button; moving towards the elevator call button and causing the button pushing element to press the elevator call button.
