Surfaces
The floor surface of the work environment must be dry. MiR250 Hook functions on many
different types of surfaces, but some materials can affect the performance and safety of the
robot, such as very thick carpets or slippery floors.
It is the responsibility of the commissioner to test the performance and safety of the robot on the
surfaces in the work environment—see Testing the safety system.
Light, reflections, and materials
Bright sunlight and reflective or transparent objects can affect the performance of the robot's
laser scanners and cameras. This can result in the robot detecting nonexistent objects or failing to
detect real objects.
Likewise, docking to markers made in very high gloss or transparent materials can reduce the
effectiveness of the robot's scanners, hindering a successful docking.
It is the responsibility of the commissioner to test if sunlight, reflections from high gloss materials,
and transparent objects affect the robot's performance or safety.
Temperature and humidity
Temperatures outside of the approved temperature range can affect the performance and
durability of the robot—see specifications on the MiR website. This is especially relevant for the
robot's battery—see "Storage" on page88.
Inclines, doorways, gaps, and steps
The robot must operate within the approved specifications for driving on inclines, through
doorways, and over gaps and steps—see specifications on the MiR website. Operating in areas
that do not meet the specifications may result in the robot failing to complete the missions or
losing control of its load.
Space
The robot must have sufficient space to operate efficiently. Determine during commissioning if
the robot has sufficient space to drive, dock, turn, and perform other tasks. Make sure to test
each mission under the most likely operating conditions to determine if there is enough space for
the robot to maneuver—see your robot's space requirement guide on the Support portal.
