Checklist
• You have made the necessary dashboard for the users or tasks they are intended for.
• You have tested that a user can make the robot perform the necessary tasks with the options
available on their dashboard.
• You have considered the naming scheme for the dashboards to ensure that you can identify a
dashboard's purpose based on its name.
12.15 Updating software
MiR continuously updates the software the robots use, either to fix issues, to improve existing
features, or to introduce new features. Each software release is issued with a release note
explaining the content of the update and its target audience.
To update the robot software see the guide How to update a MiR robot's software.
When updating a MiR robot, keep the following points in mind:
• Never turn off the robot during the update process.
• If your robot has a MiRhook mounted to it, make sure to update the hook software before
updating the robot software.
• If your robot is connected to MiRFleet, and your products are running software 2.12.0.4 or
lower, make sure to remove the robot from MiRFleet before updating them.
• If an error occurs during the update, see the troubleshooting section in the guide How to
update a MiR robot's software.
12.16 Creating backups
It can be useful to create a backup if you at a later stage want to be able to revert to the exact
state of the current software, including data such as settings, missions, and reports.
We recommend to create a backup in the following cases:
• Before you update the robot software.
• Before making any large changes to your site.
Backups take up some of your robot's memory space. It is a good idea to remove any old backups
you are certain you will not need in the future.
