	I refer you to CT Book 8: Robots for a better description of the different
command options. The command you give there is too vague for the robot to follow.

	While neither book 8 nor MT discuss security measures, adding a voice biometric
check to restrict who can issue command is TL9 or TL10 technology and could
easily be added to the robot for minimal cost.

	The Book 8 and MT design system do not get into this level of detail. But they
do assume a general set of sensors (visual, auditory, touch) with a reasonable
set of processing. With high data processing, the robot should be able to
identify cargo container by description, numbers written on the side, color,
and/or any more encoded version.

	RFID wasn't a thing when Book 8 and MT were published, but having a reader in
the robot body and a database of known tags could be added for minimal cost.
