Abstract
A method of operating a robot includes receiving image data from an image capture device of the robot. The image data is representative of a glyph viewed by the image capture device on the display of a computing device within a field of view of the image capture device. The method further includes determining, at a controller, a command message based on the glyph represented in the image data and issuing a command to at least one resource or component of the robot based on the command message.
