I'm not really sure what the problem is; if you know the X and Y coordinates
of all the NKI & Kitten, and you know the X and Y coordinates  of robot, you
can do a simple compare before you move the robot. If the problem is that you
are using a proportional font, so that robot doesn't necessarily line up with
the other objects, you just use pythagorus' theorum to determine how far away
robot is from each object. In fact, the latter method allows you to implement
smooth pixel-based robot movement. See the rfk3d source for an example.

Cheers,
