Term Definition
LD-series AMR A self-navigating and self-charging AMR series, capable of mov-
ing payloads up to 250 kg, including models designed to move
detachable carts.
light disc The circular lights on the sides of the LD-series and HD-1500
platforms that indicate motion, turns, and other robot states.
LIGHTS See "beacon".
localization The process by which mobile robots determine their location in
their operating environment. Laser localization uses the robot’s
laser to scan its environment, which it compares to its internal
environment map.
macro In MobilePlanner, a virtual “container” with a series or
sequence of nested tasks and/or goals. Similar to routes. You
can use macros as many times as needed to perform the same
sequence of discrete functions in different tasks.
map A representation of the robot's environment within MobilePlan-
ner that the robot uses for navigation.
MobilePlanner The primary software application for programming mobile robot
actions. Provides the tools for all major AMR activities, such as
observing a fleet of AMRs, commanding individual AMRs to
drive, creating and editing map files, goals, and tasks, and modi-
fying AMR configurations.
MobilePlanner (Operator
Mode)
The most basic version of MobilePlanner that has tools to mon-
itor robots, robot statistics, and add jobs. Does not have tools to
create or edit maps.
Operator Panel A user interface for mobile robots that provides access to an E-
Stop button, ON and OFFbuttons, a brake release button, and a
keyswitch.
path The line on an AMR's map between its current position and its
destination; an indication of the AMR's intended motion.
payload Anything the mobile robot carries.
payload bay The area between the platform and the payload structure.
payload structure Anything that gets attached to the platform and interacts with
the payload being transported.
pendant A handheld, external input device for manually driving AMRs,
primarily used for map creation. Connects to the AMR’s pendant
connection port.
PICKUP A job segment where an AMR typically acquires a payload. See
"DROPOFF".
platform The base mobile robot (with or without payload) – includes
chassis, drive train, suspension, wheels, battery, safety scan-
ning laser, sonar, on-board core with gyroscope and software to
navigate, interface connections for payload, and covers.
