Zusammenfassung:	A method for controlling a robot includes receiving image data from at least one image sensor. The image data corresponds to an environment about the robot. The method also includes executing a graphical user interface configured to display a scene of the environment based on the image data and receive an input indication indicating selection of a pixel location within the scene. The method also includes determining a pointing vector based on the selection of the pixel location. The pointing vector represents a direction of travel for navigating the robot in the environment. The method also includes transmitting a waypoint command to the robot. The waypoint command when received by the robot causes the robot to navigate to a target location. The target location is based on an intersection between the pointing vector and a terrain estimate of the robot.
