Athena Deployment 

1.

 

Place Charger 

With the charger, Athena can recharge itself automaticallty. Therefore, the charger 
requires to be put properly to ensure its performance. When Athena goes back to 
the charger, it will have a driving force, so it’s better to put the charger back against 
a wall. And the wall should meet the following requirements. 

a.

 

The charger should fit the wall closely and there is no obstacles between 
them. The wall with skirting line is not recommended.  

b.

 

The wall should not be made of transparent material like mirror or glass.  

c.

 

The wall should be at least three times the width of the charger.  

d.

 

The wall should be a straight wall instead of a curved one.  

The charger requires a 220V power supply and its external power supply wire is 
1.5m  in  length.  So  it’s  better  that  there  is  a  power  port  on  the  wall  for  the 
charger(the power board is not recommended since it may cause danger due to 
massy wires). 

The ground in front of the charger should meet the following requirements: 

a.

 

Open. There is no obstacles in front of the charger ( with the charger as the 
center and within a radius of 2 meters from the center). 

b.

 

Level. There is no slope on the ground. 

c.

 

There  is no  soft  carpet  on the  ground  which  leads  Athena  sinking  into  it 
more that 2cm. 

Please always launch Athena from the charger to ensure that it can recharge itself 
properly.  

Note: if the charger is moved to a different place when using Athena, user should 
reset the charger position accordingly when loading the map. Please refer to the 
detailed interfaces description in our SDK document.
