Chapter 12: Glossary
Term Definition
gateway An access point that joins two networks so devices on one network 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 navigation
of the AMR.
HAPS High Accuracy Positioning System. Uses a sensor on the underside of
the AMR to detect magnetic tape placed at locations, such as at a sta-
tionary conveyor, where you want the AMR to achieve particularly
accurate positioning.
HAPS markers The short sections of magnetic tape applied to the floor that signal to
the robot where to stop. Used at conveyors or other tight-tolerance
drop-off/pickup locations.
heading Describes the direction that the robot is facing. In the future, will need
to verify that this is true both while the robot is moving and stationary.
This is currently true for the LD.
HMI Human Machine Interface. The operator panel is an example.
HMIpost A post on the LDPlatform Cart Transporter that supports the two side
lasers, the rear facing laser, and the Operator Panel.
I/O Input/Output
instructed personnel Persons that are adequately advised or supervised by skilled persons 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 transmitting
data between networked devices. An IPaddress is a computer's unique
internet "address" that allows the user to identify each device in the
network.
IPnn 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 'n' is a number between 1 and 7 that iden-
tifies the level of protection against solid objects (dust, tools, etc.). The
second 'n' is a number between 1 and 9 that identifies the level of pro-
tection against moisture. The higher the rating, the greater the level of
protection.
job A robot activity - usually consists of either one or two “job segments”
(either PICKUP or DROPOFF). The Enterprise Manager receives all job
requests from Advanced Robotics Command Language.
joystick A hand-held, external input device for manually driving mobile robots,
primarily used for map creation. Connects to the mobile robot’s
JOYSTICK connection port.
