User's Guide .
There are many options for configuring and tuning your Adept Lynx platform to best suit your
application.
Maps are developed with the MobilePlanner software. These may contain a variety of virtual
elements which act to modify the behavior of an AIV. Virtual elements include forbidden lines
and areas, speed zones, preferred-direction zones, and more, all working to help you configure
your workspace for efficient and safe performance of your mobile application. You can also cre-
ate your own virtual elements for application-specific AIV-workspace interactions.
Maps contain a variety of goals, routes, and tasks that comprise the destinations and activities
of the AIV in the workspace.
Paths are not pre-programmed, but instead are generated dynamically onboard the platform.
Paths are updated many times per second to maintain a smooth trajectory and to account for
any obstacles that are detected by the onboard sensors. Navigational parameters are stored
onboard the platform, and can be viewed and modified using the MobilePlanner software,
which is covered in the

The MobilePlanner application, running on your computer, is used to configure the many
high-level operating characteristics of the platform, including speeds and accelerations, sensor
safety zones, minimum battery level allowed before docking for recharging, which map to use,
and many other parameters. The MobilePlanner software typically communicates with the plat-
form over the wireless network. A direct connection, through the maintenance Ethernet port on
the platform, is also possible.

Battery recharging is typically managed by the platform. With ample power, as is provided by
the automated docking station, all onboard systems function continuously while the battery
recharges.
The Operator screen shows % state-of-charge (SOC) remaining for battery.
Run-time, with no load, is approximately 13 hours. This will vary significantly depending on
use and accessory power consumption.
Recharge time is approximately 3.5 hours.
