The temperature range of the AMR's environment in which con-
tinued operation is possible.
amplifier The component that provides the power needed to drive the
mobile robot motors.
ARAM Advanced Robotics Automation Management. The software
that performs all of the high-level, autonomous robotics func-
tions, including obstacle avoidance, path planning, localization,
and navigation.

Auto-MDIX A connection port feature that automatically detects the Eth-
ernet cable type being used (straight-through or crossover) and
configures the connection appropriately.
balance (battery) The charging procedure that equalizes each cell in the battery

beacon An optional indicator lamp, mounted on the AMR to provide
extra signaling.
brake release A function that releases the AMR's motor brakes to allow
