Obstacles
If the AMR will be entering high-traffic areas, take appropriate precautions to alert people in
those areas that an AMR might enter. If the traffic consists of other machines, adjust the
AMR’s and/or the other machines’ parameters to reduce the risk of a collision.
Take care to avoid:
l Glass/transparent doors and walls.
l Steps, or ledges taller than the HD-1500's specified step-traversal ability that do not
have adequate physical barriers.
l Floors with access panels removed.
l Loose cables, hoses, etc.
l Large, highly-reflective objects.
Environment and Floor
Floors must provide good traction, typical of good walking conditions. Rough or uneven floors
can affect safety of the AMR's operation as the laser's sensing plane is not always parallel to
the floor.
WARNING: Even on smooth, level floors, dust, dirt, grease, and water (or
other liquids) can affect wheel traction, as well as operation of the ESD drive
wheels. If the drive wheels slip, it can potentially affect operating duration and
navigation accuracy.
