# Systems, apparatuses, and methods for automated elevator navigation of a robotic device

## Abstract

Systems, apparatus, and methods are described for robotic learning, planning, and execution of skills, including navigation using elevators. In one or more embodiments, a robotic device may need to autonomously take an elevator, e.g., by using its autonomy features and/or relating on application programming interfaces (APIs) to communicate with elevators.
