Controlling character using external sources

Hello,

I would like to use external controlling of character. For example: I would like to have a robot inside my unreal engine application and I would like to control it with some external logic - maybe even written in different language. I guess I can do it with networking inside unreal engine but still I would need to control it within a game.

But is it possible to create some kind of external controller for character?

Thank you for any answer.

Have you figured this out ? I have very much the same problem…
Cheers
