Chapter 12: Glossary
Term Definition
gateway An access point that joins two networks so devices on one net-
work can communicate with devices on another network.
goal A map-defined virtual destination for mobile robots (e.g., pickup
or drop-off points).
GUI Graphical User Interface
gyroscope A device that measures rotational velocity. Assists with the nav-
igation of the AMR.
HAPS High Accuracy Positioning System. Uses a sensor on the under-
side of the AMR to detect magnetic tape placed at locations,
such as at a stationary conveyor, where you want the AMR to
achieve particularly accurate positioning.
heading The direction that the robot is facing.
I/O Input/Output
Instructed persons Persons that are adequately advised or supervised by skilled per-
sons to enable them to avoid electrical and mechanical dangers.
Interlock A mechanical or electrical device intended to prevent machines
from operating unless certain conditions are met.
IP Internet Protocol. A set of communication standards for trans-
mitting data between networked devices. An IPaddress is a
computer's unique internet "address" that allows the user to
identify each device in the network.
IPC Industrial Personal Computer.
IPXX Ingress Protection. A rating given to electrical enclosures that
defines the level of protection provided against the intrusion of
solid objects, dust, and water. The first 'X' is a number between
1 and 7 that identifies the level of protection against solid
objects (dust, tools, etc.). The second 'X' is a number between 1
and 9 that identifies the level of protection against moisture.
The higher the rating, the greater the level of protection.
IMU A sensor that measures, and reports linear acceleration,
angular rate, and orientation using a combination of accel-
erometers, gyroscopes, and magnetometers.
job An activity typically consisting of one or two segments which
instruct the AMR to drive to a goal for material pickup or drop-
off.
jumper A short length of conductor that connects two points in an elec-
trical circuit, often used to bypass optional safety devices.
keyswitch A switch on the operator panel that can be toggled by turning a
key. When in the locked position, disables the OFF button.
LDPlatformCartTransporter An AMR designed to attach to movable carts and transport
them from a pickup location to a drop off location.
