Abstract
A system comprises: a robotic arm operatively coupleable to a tool comprising a working end; and an input device communicatively coupled to the robotic arm. The input device is manipulatable by an operator. The system further comprises a processor configured to cause an image of a work site, captured by an image capture device from a perspective of an image reference frame, to be displayed on a display. The image of the work site includes an image of the working end of the tool. The processor is further configured to determine a position of the working end of the tool in the image of the work site and render a tool information overlay at the position of the working end of the tool in the image of the work site. The tool information overlay visually indicates an identity of the input device.
