Term Definition
jumper A short length of conductor that connects two points in an electrical cir-
cuit, often used to bypass optional safety devices.
keyswitch A switch that can be toggled by turning a key. When in the locked pos-
ition, disables the OFF button.
light disc The circular lights on the sides of the LD platform that indicate motion,
turns, and other robot states.
light pole 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. In
light localization, the mobile robot uses a camera and overhead lights to
determine its location.
macro In MobilePlanner, a virtual “container” with a series or sequence of nes-
ted 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 MobilePlanner, that
the robot uses for navigation.
MARC The Mobile Autonomous Robot Controller (MARC) firmware controls the
mobile robot's motors, and computes and reports the robot's pose (X, Y,
and heading) readings and other low-level operating conditions to
ARAM.

MobilePlanner The primary software application for programming mobile robot
actions. part of FLOW Core, it provides the tools for all major AMR activ-
ities, such as observing a fleet of AMRs, commanding an individual AMR
to drive, creating and editing map files, goals, and tasks, and modifying
AMR configurations.
MobilePlanner (Oper-
ator Mode)
The most basic version of MobilePlanner that has tools to monitor
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 but-
ton, ON and OFFbuttons, a brake-release button, and a keyswitch.
path The route a mobile robot takes to drive from place to place in its envir-
onment.
patrol route A specific route (a series of tasks, goals, or macros) that the robot will
follow without human intervention.
payload Anything the mobile robot carries.
payload bay The area between the platform and the payload structure.
