1. A device for providing instructions to a fully autonomous robot from an individual, the device comprising:
- at least one camera member configured to capture a visual signal provided by the individual, the visual signal substantially indicative of a specific physical motion that the individual wants the robot to accomplish, the physical motion enabling a physical interaction between the robot and an item discrete from both the device and the robot, wherein the visual signal is configured to be varied by the individual depending on physical motions of the robot during monitoring of the motion of the robot;
an interpreter configured to receive data indicative of the visual signal captured by the at least one camera member, the interpreter further configured to process the data to provide command data directly to the robot so that the robot can perform the physical motion autonomously and without requiring any additional signals or other information from the individual; and
a communication element configured to communicate the command data provided by the interpreter to the robot.

Abstract
A system and method of instructing a device is disclosed. The system includes a signal source for providing at least one visual signal where the at least one visual signal is substantially indicative of at least one activity to be performed by the device. A visual signal capturing element captures the at least one visual signal and communicates the at least one visual signal to the device where the device interprets the at least one visual signal and performs the activity autonomously and without requiring any additional signals or other information from the signal source.
