Chapter 6: Operation
Before proceeding, you need to have performed the steps covered in the Setup and Getting Star-
ted chapters, so your platform has a map to work from.
6.1 Operating Environment
The Adept Lynx platform is designed to operate in an environment that is wheelchair access-
ible. Care must be taken to avoid:
l glass doors and walls
l pits without railings or low bumpers
l floors with access panels removed
l loose cables, hoses, etc.
l large, highly-reflective objects
Floors must provide good traction, typical of good walking conditions.
l Slope
up to 1:12
l Step traversal
up to 15 mm (0.6 in.)
l Gap traversal
up to 15 mm (0.6 in.)
l Temperature
5° to 40° C (41° to 104° F)
l Humidity
5 to 95%, non-condensing
The Adept Lynx platform is not intended for use in hazardous environments (explosive gas,
water, dust, oil mist). It has an IP rating of IP-40.
WARNING: Do not allow the platform to drive through an opening that
has an automatic gate/door unless the door and platform are configured
correctly with the Lynx Door Box option.
Refer to the Adept Lynx Platform Peripherals Guide for details on the
Adept Lynx Door Box.
6.2 Typical Operation
During normal startup, your Adept Lynx platform powers all its onboard systems
1
and runs
its onboard software and your integrated processes automatically to provide an application-
ready AIV. If it has been given a map of its workspace and knows where it is within that envir-
onment (localized), your AIV is ready to perform on startup and will operate autonomously,
without human intervention.
