Adding zones to the map
Adding zones to the map helps organize robot traffic. There are several different zones that
can optimize the preferred paths and driving behavior of the robot.
For more information about what each zone does, see MiRRobot Reference
Guide on the MiR website, or ask your distributor for the guide How to use
zones on a map.
NOTICE
All zones are ignored when you drive the robot in Manual mode and if you use
a relative move action (except in Limit-robots zones).
Examples of when and how to use zones
The following sections describe examples of cases where certain zones can be used to
improve the robot's operations.
For more examples, contact your distributor for the guide How to use zones on
a map.
Descending staircases
Issue: The robot sensors cannot detect descending staircases. Marking a staircase as a wall
on the map will only confuse the robot as it will try to navigate from a wall that is not there.
Solution: Mark staircases and areas surrounding staircases or holes in the floor as
Forbidden zones on the map.
Low hanging fixtures
Issue: If a low hanging fixture is installed that is outside of the robot sensors' range, the
robot may try to travel beneath it. This can be dangerous if the robot is carrying a tall top
module or load that can collide with the fixture.
Solution: Mark the area where the low hanging fixture is located as a Forbidden zone.
