1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
determining first data representing a screen coordinate position of a user input corresponding to an image, displayed on a screen, representing a portion of a physical environment of an autonomously motile device;
determining, using the first data, second data representing the screen coordinate position with respect to the portion of the physical environment represented in the image;
determining, using the second data and based at least in part on a first ratio of the screen coordinate position to height of the screen and a second ratio of the screen coordinate position to width of the screen, a destination in the physical environment; and
causing the autonomously motile device to move to the destination in the physical environment.
