The final orientation of the robot is indicated by the arrow on the position icon.
There are different types of positions depending on whether the robot is part of
a fleet or drives with top modules, but the standard position that is available in all
MiR applications is the Robot position. This position has no special features, it
simply marks a location where you want to be able to send the robot to.
To create a position, see Creating positions on page200.
11.6 Creating missions
MiR robots function through missions that you create. A mission is made up of
actions, such as: move actions, logic actions, docking actions, and sounds, which
can be put together to form a mission with as many actions as needed. Missions
themselves can also be nested into other missions.
Most actions have adjustable parameters, for example, which position to go to.
Most actions can also use variables, enabling the user to choose the value of a
parameter each time the mission is used. This can be practical in cases where the
robot performs the same series of actions in different areas of the site that
require different parameter settings in the mission actions.
When you create a mission, you can save it in the default Missions group, or you
can choose to save it in any of the available actions groups. The actions groups
are found in the top bar of the mission editor window, and you can distinguish
missions from actions by the small icons shown next to their names: missions
have a target icon , and actions have a running-man icon .
