wireless connection.
Additional Information: Wireless is a requirement for managing multiple AMRs
as a fleet. See: Fleet Operations Workspace Core User's Manual (Cat. No. I635).
Also, you may optionally use an Android or iOSī ±tablet to run the MobilePlanner Tablet soft-
ware.
ARAM
The Advanced Robotics Automation Management software (ARAM) runs on the AMR Con-
troller. ARAM is responsible for the following AMR functions and features:
l
Interaction with on-board sensors such as the safety scanning lasers, low lasers, and
optional side lasers.
l High-level, autonomous robotics functions such as:
o
Obstacle avoidance
o
Path planning
o
Localization
o
Navigation
l
Motion commands to the Polo firmware.
l
Battery management.
ARAM provides the AMR with an interface to external entities by managing the following:
l
Wired and wireless Ethernet communications with external software for external mon-
itoring, development, and systems coordination.
l
Fleet coordination of AMRs through the optional Fleet Manager.
l
Integration with other systems.
l External monitoring, setup, and control via the MobilePlanner graphical interface.
l
Digital and analog I/O ports accessible from the user access panel that enable you to
integrate application-specific sensors and effectors into your payload structure. Refer to
Fleet Operations Workspace Core User's Manual (Cat. No. I635) for instructions on how
to configure I/O connections.
ARAMCentral
ARAMCentral runs on the Fleet Manager as part of the Fleet Operations Workspace software.
When managing a fleet, the ARAMCentral software does the following:
l
Stores and distributes:
o
The shared workspace map used by all AMRs in a fleet.
o
The common AMR configuration.
l
Controls AMR traffic, including:
