1. An apparatus comprising:
- a display;
a slave manipulator adapted to manipulate a tool about a pivot point;
an image capture device disposed to capture images of a work site; and
a processor programmed to;
receive information of a plurality of user specified points in the work site;
determine positions of the plurality of user specified points relative to an image reference frame having an origin collocated with an image capturing end of the image capture device;
translate the determined positions of the plurality of user specified points from the image reference frame to a target reference frame having an origin collocated with the pivot point; and
cause information of the translated positions of the plurality of user specified points to be graphically displayed on the display so as to indicate distances of the plurality of user specified points to the pivot point.

Abstract
A robotic system includes a processor that is programmed to determine and cause work site measurements for user specified points in the work site to be graphically displayed in order to provide geometrically appropriate tool selection assistance to the user. The processor is also programmed to determine an optimal one of a plurality of tools of varying geometries for use at the work site and to cause graphical representations of at least the optimal tool to be displayed along with the work site measurements.

16. A method for providing work site measurements, the method comprising:
-
receiving information of a plurality of user specified points in a work site; determining positions of a plurality of user specified points in the work site relative to an image reference frame having an origin collocated with an image capturing end of an image capture device; translating the determined positions of the plurality of user specified points from the image reference frame to a target reference frame having an origin collocated with a pivot point about which a tool is manipulatable by a slave manipulator; and graphically displaying information of the translated positions of the plurality of user specified points on a display so as to indicate distances of the plurality of user specified points to the pivot point. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)
