4-34 Description and Operation
Number Explanation
8
The vehicle drives Straight until the start of the cubicles on the right, then Wall flw
R, followed by Straight until the bump point.
9
The vehicle drives back followed by Wall flw R.
4.4.2.5 Obstacles
If the machine unexpectedly comes across an obstacle, for example the leg of a cow or a pile of manure,
the machine acts as follows:
• it reverses and tries again (up to 3 times)
• it reverses and makes a 45 degrees turn to the left or right, depending on the previous action (left or
right wall tracking/ultrasonic). If it succeeds in passing the obstacle, it returns to the original route and
continues to finish the route.
4.4.3 Power and Water Supply
At the end of a route, the machine drives to the charging station. It stays there until the start of the next
route.
Each time the machine starts a route, it first drives to the water filling station (1) (see figure 21 on page 4-
35). The water inlet tube enters the funnel shaped water supply tube and opens the mechanically
operated shut-off valve. The vehicle stops automatically. The water enters the water tank via a water
filter.
When the tank is full, it overflows through the water sensor. The water sensor detects the flow and makes
sure the machine drives back (2) from the water filling station and thereby stops the water filling process.
After that, the machine turns to the right (3), drives alongside the water filling station (4) and (5) and
continues its route (6).
