1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, are configured to cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

  • communicatively connecting an electronic device to a remote presence device;

    selectively displaying a live video feed from a camera of the remote presence device in a video panel on an electronic display of the electronic device;

    receiving a navigation input that forms at least part of an intended navigation path of the remote presence device, wherein receiving a navigation input comprises;

    overlaying a vector graphically represented as a line or arrow on the live video feed, wherein the vector has beginning point and an end point, the beginning point representing a current location of the remote telepresence device within the live video feed;

    allowing an operator to move the end point of the vector with respect to the live video feed while the remote telepresence device is in motion, wherein a horizontal component of the vector is used to determine a magnitude and direction of a rotational velocity and/or an angular displacement of the remote telepresence device, and wherein a vertical component of the vector is used to determine a magnitude of a forward velocity and/or a forward displacement of the remote telepresence device;

    displaying at least a portion of the intended navigation path of the remote presence device overlaid on the live video feed, wherein the displayed intended navigation path includes the vector;

    transforming the navigation input into navigation instructions that are interpretable by the remote presence device;

    transmitting the navigation instructions associated with the navigation input to the remote presence device;

    updating the live video feed as the remote presence device moves in accordance with the navigation instructions.
