Safety instructions
Safety in operation
Weight
: Do not try to pick the robot by yourself, the robot is heavy. This may harm your back
and skeleton. Use at least two people to hold the robot off the ground.
Distance
: Keep a safety distance of few meters between the robot and people when in
operation the robot is strong, heavy, and fast. If it may hit a person, it may cause a substantial
injury. Keep your arms, body, and face at least 1.5 meter away from the Komodo arm. The arm
may be very fast and strong, and it may cause injury in case of hitting someone.
Batteries safety
All the robot’s batteries are of the type LiFePo4. The safety characteristics inherent to LiFePo4
technology result from the incorporation of phosphates as the cathode material. Phosphates are
extremely stable in overcharge or short circuit conditions and have the ability to withstand high
temperatures without decomposing. When abuse does occur, phosphates are not prone to
thermal runaway and will not burn. As a result, LiFePo4 technology possesses safety
characteristics that are fundamentally superior to those of lithiumion batteries made with other
cathode materials.
LiFePo4 technology does not contain any heavy metals and does not exhibit the "memory
effect" of NickelCadmium and Nickelmetal Hydride solutions. LiFePo4 technology
demonstrates excellent shelf life, long cycle life and is maintenance free.
Another key benefit of LiFePo4 technology is its flexibility, both in terms of battery
application and cell design. It can be used in wound cylindrical, wound prismatic and polymer
battery construction types and manufactured to fit smaller applications.
The advantages of traditional lithiumion coupled with the safety features of phosphates,
make LiFePo4 technology the lithiumion technology for the future. The LiFePo4 technology
utilizes natural, phosphatebased material and offers the greatest combination of performance,
safety, cost, reliability and environmental characteristics.
Emergency switch
Pulling the emergency switch out form the robot will cause the robot to
stop. The emergency switch only works when the robot running on PC
mode, that mean if you’re driving the robot manually in RC mode the emergency switch will not
stop the robot.
