Abstract
Systems, methods and media for illuminating locations where operations are to be performed are disclosed. A set of locations where an operation is to be performed by an agent may be determined by a control system. A particular illumination pattern of numerous illumination patterns may be assigned to an agent by the control system. Illumination patterns may be colors, shapes, blink rates or any combination thereof for example. The control system may send instructions to illumination devices that correspond to the set of locations to designate all of the locations in the set of locations with the particular illumination pattern assigned to the agent such that the agent is visually aware of location to traverse. Distinct agents may each be assigned distinct illumination patterns such that the agents may operate in the same area without confusion of which agent should perform the operation at a location.
