1. Introduction
This document is one of four that will help operators to use their robots safely and effectively:
▪ ExR-1 Robot Operator Operating Instructions
▪ ExR-2 and Docking Station Operating Instructions
▪ Robot System Operating Guide.
▪ Robot System Deployment Guide.
The instructions focus on the safe operation of the robots especially with respect to their use in
potentially explosive gas environments. The others provide additional information about the robot
systems and their use. If there’s a conflict between the documents, the instructions will always
prevail.
This operating guide:
▪ Describes each key part of the robot system:
o Robots.
o Control stations that are used to communicate with the robot.
o Docking stations that recharge the robots’ batteries.
o Cloud software that enables users to interact with robots.
▪ Explains how to set up autonomous missions.
▪ Recommends how robot operatives should be trained.
▪ Provides advice for operating robots.
The guide will be updated and made available to robot fleet managers and first line support as new
robot hardware and software is deployed.
