Claim 9:
10. For use with a robot in a physical workspace, a robot controller comprising:
a processor;
a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor to provide:
perception and interaction modules configured for (i) computationally representing the robot in a 3D coordinate space corresponding to at least a portion of the workspace, (ii) detecting user gestures associated with the workspace and indicating a task goal and a task constraint, wherein the task goal includes the robot manipulating a physical object; and
a planning module configured for (i) computing a motion plan for the robot based on the task goal and the task constraint and (ii) causing the robot to execute control functions corresponding to the task goal without violating the task constraint in accordance with the computed motion plan.
