Classification: CPC B  G | IPC B  G

Claim 0:
1. A method of training a robot situated in a physical workspace, the method comprising the steps of:
(a) computationally representing, by a controller, the robot in a 3D coordinate space corresponding to at least a portion of the workspace;
(b) electronically detecting, by the controller, a first user gesture associated with the workspace and corresponding to a task goal, wherein the task goal includes the robot manipulating a physical object;
(c) electronically detecting, by the controller, a second user gesture associated with the workspace and corresponding to a task constraint;
(d) computing, by the controller, a motion plan for the robot based on the task goal and the task constraint; and
(e) causing, by the controller, the robot to execute control functions corresponding to the task goal without violating the task constraint in accordance with the computed motion plan.
