6. Usage
It takes several steps in the robot interface to set up the robot to pick up and place carts with
a MiR Hook 100 mounted on top of MiR100.
This guide describes how to create a mission to pick up and place a cart. This mission
example is titled
Cart mission.
The steps for creating the mission example are described in this chapter and are outlined in
the following points:
•
. You must define the dimensions and docking parameters of
the various types of carts your robot transports.
•
Setting cart positions on the map on page 38
. The positions of carts must be defined on
the robot map so the robot knows where to go to pick up or place carts.
•
Creating a cart mission on page 40
. Creating a simple mission to pick up and place carts
After these steps are carried out, the robot is able to pick up and place carts autonomously.
6.1 Calibrate cart
It is important to calibrate the relation between MiR Hook 100 and the cart. In the
Manual
control
menu under
Hook
, you must now enter values into the
Change height
field to
define entry and lock heights for the hook to use when docking to and gripping a cart.
When a value is entered in
Change height
and confirmed, the hook will move up or down
depending on the chosen value. The value represents the height from the bottom of the hook
to the ground (mm).
1.
Insert a height which enables the hook to go underneath the cart. This is known as the
entry height. Remember the value as you will need it when defining the dimensions of
the cart.
2.
Place the cart over MiR Hook 100.
