Autonomous Navigation
The AMR combines hardware and mobile-robotics software to provide an adaptive, mobile platform to
transport a payload. It is equipped with a Natural Feature Navigation system which enables the AMR
to navigate and perform its basic functions independently and without the need for facility modification.
After it scans physical features in its environment, the AMR navigates safely and autonomously to any
accessible destination. It can move continuously and without human intervention, autonomously re-
charging itself as necessary.
The AMR will frequently adjust its path to go around an obstacle. Navigational parameters are stored
on the AMR Controller and can be viewed and modified using the MobilePlanner software.
CAUTION
Although the AMR's software provides the option of using the map features to keep
the AMR within its designated workspace, poor or improper localization may result in
incorrect path planning. To ensure safety, you must always install physical barriers
where there is a risk of property damage or personal hazard.
The MobilePlanner software configures the many high-level operating characteristics of the AMR and
typically communicates with the AMR over a wireless network. A direct connection through the Mainte-
nance Ethernet Port on the AMR is also possible.
The AMR uses range data from Safety Scanning Lasers as its primary means of detecting obstacles
and of maintaining an accurate understanding of its location in the environment. Additionally, it uses
data from the following sensors:
• Two Low Lasers at the opposing corners of the AMR to detect objects below the plane of the Safety
Scanning Lasers.
• Encoders (one on each drive motor) provide information on the distance traveled by each drive
wheel and direction of travel.
Before an AMR enters a high-traffic area, you must take appropriate precautions to alert people work-
ing in those areas. The AMR provides programmable warning features such as a warning buzzer,
speech synthesis, and warning indicator lights. The User Access Panel provides user ports that ena-
ble you to add additional warning indicators to your payload structure.
If high-traffic areas include other moving vehicles such as fork-lift trucks or autonomous moving ma-
chines, consider adjusting the AMR's operating parameters to reduce the risk of a collision.You can do
this with one of the following methods.
• Editing the workspace map to include features that restrict the AMR's operation in specific areas,
such as preferred lines, resisted areas, and movement parameter sectors to reduce speed.
• Editing the AMR's configuration to affect its behavior in all locations, such as restricting its maximum
speed.
