1. A robot, comprising:
- a microprocessor programmed to;
perform a customer service task at a service location;
access a data exchange protocol, the data exchange protocol comprising a robot portion and an expected human response, the robot portion comprising instructions for execution by the robot;
initiate a verification process to verify the identity of a human at the service location, the verification process comprising causing the robot to perform the robot portion;
observe an observed response comprising actions of the human at the service location;
determine whether the observed response is substantially equivalent to the expected human response;
upon determining that the observed response is substantially equivalent to the expected human response, operating the robot in a verified mode to perform the customer service task; and
upon determining that the observed response is not substantially equivalent to the expected human response, operating the robot in a non verified mode.

Abstract
Robotic customer service agents may require verification of a human. The verification may be of the identity of the human and/or a capability of the human. If verified, the robot operates in a verified mode and otherwise operates in a non-verified mode. The robot performs a customer service task in one of the verified mode or the non-verified mode, which may alter, omit, or substitute actions as appropriate for the mode.

11. A system, comprising:
-
a network interface; a microprocessor in communication with the network interface and when provided with instructions cause the microprocessor to; cause a robot to perform a customer service task at a service location; initiate a verification process to verify the identity of a human at the service location, the verification process comprising causing the robot to prompt the human to perform an expected human response; observe an observed human response comprising actions of the human at the service location; determine whether the observed response is substantially equivalent to the expected human response; upon determining that the observed response is substantially equivalent to the expected human response, operating the robot in a verified mode to perform the customer service task; and upon determining that the observed response is not substantially equivalent to the expected human response, operating the robot in a non verified mode. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A system, comprising:
-
means to perform, by a microprocessor, a customer service task at a service location; means to access, by the microprocessor, a data exchange protocol comprising a robot portion and an expected human response; means to initiate, by the microprocessor, a verification process to verify the identity of a human at the service location, the verification process comprising causing a robot to perform the robot portion; means to observe, by the microprocessor, an observed response comprising actions of the human at the service location; means to determine, by the microprocessor, whether the observed response is substantially equivalent to the expected human response; upon determining that the observed response is substantially equivalent to the expected human response, means to cause, by the microprocessor, the robot to operate in a verified mode to perform the customer service task; and upon determining that the observed response is not substantially equivalent to the expected human response, means to cause, by the microprocessor, the robot to operate in a non-verified mode. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
