F
Footprint
A footprint set in the robot interface defines the size of the robot and its top module or load. It
consists of a horizontal shape around the robot that should be slightly bigger than the robot
itself to ensure that there is enough space along the calculated path, and a maximum height
that ensures the robot does not try to drive under low obstacles. The horizontal shape is
defined as coordinates relative to the robot's center.
G
Global path
The global path is the route the robot calculates that leads it to its goal position.
I
ID tags
ID tags are QR codes or AprilTags and are placed on carts as identification markers. The robot
with a hook mounted to it is then able to identify and pick up the correct cart.
Identification label
The identification label is the label that is mounted to the product in production. The label is
used to identify the components in your MiR application. It identifies the product model, the
hardware version, and the product serial number.
L
Light indicators
The light indicators consist of status lights and signal lights. The status light is used to indicate
the robot's current status, and the signal lights are used to indicate the robot's driving
intentions.
Local path
The local path is the route the robot creates within its immediate vicinity that guides it around
obstacles while still following the global path.
Localization
The method used by the robot to determine its position on the map relative to where it is in
the work environment.
