REPLAYING A MISSION
Recorded missions are stored on the robot
controller. You can connect a controller
containing recorded missions to any Spot in your
fleet and replay the mission with any of your
robots.
To replay a mission:
1. Open the Settings menu on the controller and
tap to select Autowalk > Replay Mission.
2. Select the mission you want to replay.
3. The mission loads into memory. Large
missions may take several seconds to load.
4. Localize the robot to the start point fiducial
and tap “Initialize Mission.”
5. The robot carries out the mission, following
the mission route to its end point.
To pause mission replay, tap the pause button.
Resume by tapping the play button.
MONITORING A MISSION
The operator must monitor all missions by
connecting the controller to the robot as an
observer. This allows the operator to receive the
robot’s video stream on the controller.
CAUTION: Spot should be supervised
during Autowalk mission execution. The
robot operator is responsible for the safe
operation of the robot whether manually
driving the robot or in replaying a defined
mission. The robot and its surroundings
must be carefully monitored to avoid dan-
gerous situations. The controller must be
continuously connected to the robot during
operation.
SKIPPING PART OF A MISSION
During mission replay, the operator may choose
to skip part of a mission. This feature can be
helpful when trying to run a mission where an
obstacle prevents the robot from reaching a
waypoint associated with a recorded action.
For example: During mission replay you discover
that a forklift has been parked on top of a way-
point where an image capture action has been
recorded.
To skip part of a mission if an obstacle is
blocking a waypoint:
1. When the controller promts you to skip part
of the mission, click the skip button to take
manual control of the robot.
2. Walk the robot past the blocked waypoint.
3. Press “Resume” to skip the waypoint and
continue the mission.
