Chapter 12: Glossary
Term Definition
payload structure Anything that gets attached to the platform and interacts with the pay-
load being transported.
PCA Printed Circuit Assembly. This is a printed circuit board that is populated
with electronic components.
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 scanning laser, sonar,
on-board core with gyroscope and software to navigate, interface con-
nections for payload, and covers.
pose A mobile robot’s position (location and heading).
preferred (lines, dir-
ections)
The lines or directions you want the mobile robot to travel. These are
map items that can be drawn on a map using MobilePlanner, to reduce
the cost of grid cells under the line. See: cost.
route A “to do” list or series of tasks, goals, or macros for the mobile robot to
follow.
RS-232 Recommended Standard 232. Standard for serial communication that
provides full-duplex unbalanced-transfer communications using a
multi-conductor cable.
safety com-
missioning
The testing and commissioning (verification of proper function) of a
robot's on-board safety systems. Uses a wizard to test E-Stop (tests
brake activation) and Safety Laser (tests max speed limits and obstacle
detection). Per EN-1525, commissioning must be done by specially
trained people.
sector User defined map regions that direct specific AMR actions, like ignoring
sensor readings, driving on the right or left, limiting the number of
robots in the area at one time, etc.
SetNetGo The software OS that resides on mobile robots and the optional Enter-
prise Manager appliance. Used to configure mobile robots’ com-
munication parameters, gather debuginfo files, and upgrade the mobile
software suite. Accessed via the SetNetGo tab in MobilePlanner.
skilled personnel Persons that have the technical knowledge or sufficient experience to
enable them to avoid electrical or mechanical dangers.
SNG SetNetGo
SSID Service Set IDentification - identifies a wireless LAN.
Stay A touchscreen function that delays the departure of the AMR. Each
touch of the Stay button adds to the time the AMR will wait before con-
tinuing to its next goal.
swing radius The radius of the circle that a mobile robot will use when turning in
place (with no forward motion).
tasks Instructions for the robot to perform certain actions like reading inputs,
