Abstract
A control system, method and computer program product cooperate to assist control for an autonomous robot. The system includes a communications interface that exchanges information with the autonomous robot (22). A user interface displays a scene of location in which the autonomous robot (22) is positioned, and also receives an indication of a user selection of a user selected area within the scene. The communications interface transmits an indication of said user selected area to the autonomous robot (22) for further processing of the area by said autonomous robot (22).
Claims20
A control system for an autonomous robot, comprising:
- a communications interface that exchanges information with the autonomous robot;
- a user interface that displays a scene of a location in which the autonomous robot is positioned, and receives an indication of a user selection of a user selected area within said scene, wherein
- said communications interface transmits an indication of said user selected area to said autonomous robot for further processing of said area.
A display control method for an autonomous robot, comprising:
- exchanging information with the autonomous robot via a communications interface;
- displaying on a display a scene of a location in which the autonomous robot is positioned;
- receiving via a user interface an indication of a user selection of a user selected area within said scene;
- and
- forming with a processing circuit and transmitting an indication of said user selected area to said autonomous robot for further processing of said area.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having instructions stored therein that when executed by a processing circuit perform a display control method for an autonomous robot, comprising:
- exchanging information with the autonomous robot via a communications interface;
- displaying on a display a scene of a location in which the autonomous robot is positioned;
- receiving via a user interface an indication of a user selection of a user selected area within said scene;
- and
- forming with the processing circuit and transmitting an indication of said user selected area to said autonomous robot for further processing of said area.
