CAUTION
The footprint is only used by the robot's global and local planner to avoid
obstacles. The Collision avoidance feature—see Collision avoidance on
page82—still uses the same field sets. If your robot is carrying a load or top
module that extends the footprint in front of or behind the robot, it may
collide with personnel or equipment.
• Avoid extending the footprint in front of or behind the robot.
• Mark all areas where the robot drives with an unsafe load as operating
hazard zones.
• Consider modifying the protective field sets if necessary—see Collision
avoidance on page82.
For a more thorough guide to creating footprints, contact your distributor for
the guide How to change the robot footprint.
For more information about the footprint editor, see MiRRobot Reference
Guide on the MiR website.
If you want to change the footprint in a mission, use the Set footprint action found under
the Move action group. This is often used to change the footprint if the robot has picked up
a load that extends the footprint or has placed a load and the footprint returns to the
default.
