Robots may need more space to operate than the required operating hazard
zone. Consider expanding operating hazard zones to include the required free
space for operation to ensure that the robot can operate smoothly. For the
robot's space requirements, see the document Best Practice:Space
Requirements found on the MiR website under Manuals for each product
page.
It is not allowed to have work stations in operating hazard zones.
You can add zones to the map in the robot interface to mitigate the risks to personnel in
operating hazard zones. We recommend considering whether adding the following zones can
reduce the risks in an operating hazard zone:
• Speed zones can be used to reduce the speed of the robot to the minimum robot speed.
• Sound and light zones can be used to add acoustic and visual warnings when the robot
drives into the zones.
For more information about zones, see the MiR Robot Reference Guide.
Docking to a marker
If the robot needs to dock very close to a marker or another object, you can choose to make
the robot mute its Protective fields temporarily—see Creating the mission Variable docking
on page164. This prevents the robot from entering Protective stop when it drives very close
to an object. If the robot mutes its Protective fields, the area must be marked as an
operating hazard zone.
The muting starts when the robot reaches the entry position approximately one meter from
the marker. To indicate this to people nearby, MiR250 slows down and starts blinking yellow,
using the eight signal lights on the corners of the robot.
