Chapter 1: Introduction
ARAM
The Advanced Robotics Automation Management software (ARAM) runs on the LD-250 Core.
It is software included with your FLOW Core license. ARAM is responsible for the following
AMR functions and features:
l
Interaction with on-board sensors such as the safety scanning laser, optional side laser
or included rear sensor.
l High-level, autonomous robotics functions such as:
o
Obstacle avoidance
o
Path planning
o
Localization
o
Navigation
l
Motion commands to the MARC firmware.
l
Battery management.
l
Digital I/O ports in the core that enable you to integrate application-specific sensors and
effectors into your payload structure.
ARAM also provides the AMR with an interface to external entities:
l
Manages wired and wireless Ethernet communications with external software for
external monitoring, development, and systems coordination.
l
Provides coordination of a fleet of AMRs through the optional Fleet Manager appliance.
l
Manages integration with other systems, in addition to external monitoring, setup, and
control via the MobilePlanner graphical interface.
ARAMCentral
ARAMCentral runs on the Fleet Manager as part of the Fleet Operations Workspace software.
When managing a fleet, the ARAMCentral software does the following:
l
Stores and distributes:
o
The shared workspace map used by all fleet AMRs.
o
The common AMR configuration.
l
Controls AMR traffic, including:
o
Multi-AMR avoidance
o
AMR Destinations
o
AMR Standby
o
Charging dock access
l
Queuing of jobs
l
Remote I/O (if used)
