Omron LD-60 - Chapter 1: Introduction; Definitions; Product Description

Chapter 1: Introduction
This manual covers the setup, operation, and user maintenance of an LDPlatform OEM.
Other than the basics, this manual does not cover configuration performed using the software
that comes with the platform. That is covered in the FLOW Core User's Guide.
1.1 Definitions
AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robot):A platform with a payload structure attached to it. This is
your complete mobile robot, which will transport your products, parts, or data.
When referring to the initial setup, configuration, and connections, we will refer to the plat-
form.
We use the term AMR when talking about controlling or monitoring the full mobile robot with
attached payload structure.
Fleet Manager:A system that manages a fleet of AMRs. This includes the Fleet Manager appli-
ance and the software that runs on it.
Fleet:Two or more AMRs operating in the same workspace.
Platform: The most basic part of the robot. It includes the chassis, drive assemblies, sus-
pension, wheels, battery, lasers, sonar, an on-board LD Platform core with a built-in gyroscope,
navigation software, connectors for interfacing with and powering the payload structure, and
the platform skins (external covers).
LDPlatform OEM: Either the LD-60 or LD-90 platform for 60 or 90 kg payloads.
Payload Structure: Anything you attach to the platform. This could be as simple as a box for
holding parts or documents that you want transported, or as complicated as a robotic arm that
will be used to pick up parts to transport.
1.2 Product Description
The LDPlatform OEM is a general-purpose, mobile robot platform, designed to work indoors
and around people. It is self-guided and self-charging, with an automated docking station. The
LDPlatform OEM is available in two versions, designed to carry loads up to 60 kg (132 lb)for
the LD-60 and 90 kg (198 lb) for the LD-90 platform. Where appropriate, differences between
the models are called out. Otherwise, this manual applies to both platforms.
NOTE: The LD-90x is a variant of the LD-90, with the drive train of the Cart
Transporter CT130. In general, it is not covered in this manual, although it is
mentioned in a few places where its higher gear ratio is a factor.
