Abstract

A human interface robot (100) that includes a controller (500), a camera (320, 320a, 320b, 450, 450a, 450b) in communication with the controller, and a display (310, 310a, 310b, 312) in communication with the controller. The controller displays received image data on the display as an image (1602), identifies at least one shape (1610, 1610a, 1610b) in the image, and displays a shape specific label (1620) on the image at least near the shape.
