Positioning indicator system for a remotely controllable arm and related methods

A method of operating a robotic system comprising a robotic arm extending from a base, the method comprising:

• determining, by a processor, a target base pose of the base;
• operating, by the processor, a positioning indicator to direct a manual repositioning of the base relative to a floor surface;
• and
• operating, by the processor, the robotic arm to maintain a position of a distal portion of the robotic arm during the manual repositioning of the base.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising a plurality of machine-readable instructions which when executed by one or more processors associated with a robotic system comprising a robotic arm extending from a base, are adapted to cause the one or more processors to perform a method comprising:

• determining a target base pose of the base;
• operating a positioning indicator to direct a manual repositioning of the base relative to a floor surface;
• and
• operating the robotic arm to maintain a position of a distal portion of the robotic arm during the manual repositioning of the base.
