Abstract
Methods and systems for providing feedback on an interface for controlling a robotic device are provided. An example method includes receiving an input on an interface of a device within an area on a display of the interface. The input may indicate an orientation command and a velocity command for a robotic device. The method may further include providing a display of direction indicators on the interface representing a location of the input based on the location of the input. A location of the direction indicators may represent a direction associated with the orientation command. The method may also include providing a display of a geometric shape within the area on the display representing the location of the input, such that a size of the geometric shape corresponds to a magnitude of velocity associated with the velocity command. In this manner, visual feedback may be provided while receiving the input.
