Chapter 7: Operation
Before proceeding, you need to have performed the steps covered in the Setup and Getting Star-
ted chapters, so your platform has a map to work from.
7.1 Operating Environment
Intended Use
The LDPlatform OEM is designed to operate in indoor industrial or professional envir-
onments. In general, if a wheelchair can safely and easily navigate the environment (open,
with gentle slopes), then it is safe for the robot.
Guidelines for safe use:
l
Clean, dry floors — floors that are regularly swept, and routinely kept free of debris and
liquids.
IMPORTANT: Since the robot is not water proof, floors must be kept rel-
atively dry, as any dampness can cause the wheels to slip. This can cause
problems for braking as well as navigation. Refer to ISO Standard 13849-2
for instructions on how to test the robot in non-standard environments.
l
Gentle slopes — wheelchair ramps are a good example of the amount of slope the robot
can safely climb.
l
Temperature — 5 to 40°C, with a recommended humidity range of 5% to 95%, non-con-
densing.
Clearance
The platform can operate in an environment that is generally level, with no doors or other
restricted areas that are too narrow for the AMR.
You must ensure that adequate clearance is maintained on each side of the AMR, so that a per-
son cannot get trapped between the AMR and a wall or other fixed object. You should consult
the applicable standards for your area.
An exception to side clearance can exist at pickup and drop off locations, where the AMR
must get close to conveyors or other fixed objects.
!
CAUTION: PROPERTYDAMAGE RISK
Do not allow the platform to drive through an opening that has an automatic
gate/door unless the door and platform are configured correctly with the
Call/Door Box option.
Refer to the LDPlatform Peripherals User's Guide for details on the Call/Door
Box.
