    摘要: Methods and systems for providing functionality of an interface to include an artificial horizon are provided. In one example, a method includes receiving information indicating a range of motion of a camera on a device, and providing an interface on a second device remote from the device. The interface may be configured to receive an input indicating a command for an orientation of the camera on the device. The method may further include based on the information indicating the range of motion of the camera, providing an artificial horizon at a fixed position on the interface that indicates the range of motion of the camera on either side of the artificial horizon. The fixed position of the artificial horizon may be associated with an orientation of the camera having a tilt value of about zero or having a pan value of about zero.

    摘要: Methods and systems for providing functionality of an interface to control orientations of a camera on a device are provided. In one example, a method includes receiving an input on an interface indicating a command for an orientation of a camera on a robotic device, and the interface may be provided on a device remote from the robotic device. An indicator may be provided on the interface representing a location of the input, and the indicator may be representative of the command for the orientation of the camera on the robotic device. The method may also include determining that the location of the input on the interface is within a distance threshold to a pre-set location on the interface, and repositioning the indicator on the interface to be at the pre-set location.

    摘要: Methods and systems for providing functionality of a user interface to control directional orientations of a device are provided. An example method includes receiving an input on an interface indicating a command for a directional orientation of a robotic device, and providing an indicator on the interface representing a location of the input. The indicator may include a representation of the command for the directional orientation of the robotic device. The method may further include determining that the location of the input on the interface is within a distance threshold to a pre-set location on the interface, and repositioning the indicator on the interface to be at the pre-set location. In this manner, the indicator may snap to a location if the input is close to a pre-set location, for example.

    摘要: Methods and systems for selecting a velocity profile for controlling a robotic device are provided. An example method includes receiving via an interface a selection of a robotic device to control, and receiving via the interface a request to modify a velocity profile of the robotic device. The velocity profile may include information associated with changes in velocity of the robotic device over time. The method may further include receiving a selected velocity profile, receiving an input via the interface, and determining a velocity command based on the selected velocity profile and the input. In this manner, changes in velocity of the robotic device may be filtered according to a velocity profile selected via the interface.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: Methods and systems for modifying a display of a field of view of a robotic device to include zoomed-in and zoomed-out views are provided. In examples, the robotic device may include a camera to capture images in a field of view of a robotic device, and distance sensors which can provide outputs that may be used to determine a distance of the robotic device to an object in the field of view of the robotic device. A display of the field of view of the robotic device can be generated, and as the distance decreases, the display can be modified to include a zoomed-in view of the object. As the distance increases, the display can be modified to include a zoomed-out view of the object. An amount of zoom of the object may be inversely proportional to the distance.
