Chapter 1: Introduction
This allows the platform to charge itself, without user intervention. It includes a wall-
mount bracket and a floor plate, for a choice of installation methods. See Installing the
Docking Station on page 38.
A manual charging cord is included, so you can charge the battery or a spare battery
outside of the platform.
l
Joystick (option)
This is used for manually controlling the platform, mostly when making a scan to be
used for generating a map.
You need at least one joystick for each fleet ofAIVs. Once a map is generated, the map
can be shared with multiple AIVs working in the same space.

l
Enterprise Manager 1100 system
This system manages a fleet of AIVs, for multi-AIV coordination and job management.
It includes the Enterprise Manager appliance running the Mobile Robot Software Suite.
l
Acuity Navigation
For dynamic environments in which a map can’t be kept current, or where the area is
too large for the navigation laser to see, the robot can use Acuity to navigate using over-
head light patterns seen with an upward-facing camera.
l
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Skins
ESD skins are black in appearance. They are made of a conductive thermoplastic sheet,
grounded to the chassis, that prevents electrostatic buildup. They do this by providing a
path to ground through the skin, to the robot’s chassis and wheels, and provide res-
istance of 1X10
9
Ω (measured from skin to ground). These skins are available for robot
applications in electrostatic discharge protected areas (EPAs).
l
Spare battery
A spare battery can help keep the AIV on the job without stopping to re-charge.
l
Call/Door Box
This allows an AIV to be requested from a remote location, or allows the system to con-
trol an automated door, so the AIV can pass through it.
l
High-Accuracy Positioning System (HAPS)
Allows an AIV to achieve accurate alignment at a specific location, such as a fixed con-
veyor, using a sensor to detect magnetic tape at that location.
For Payload Structure Development
l
Side-mount obstacle-detection lasers
Two lasers that scan the vertical plane on each side of the AIV. These detect obstacles
that are at heights the navigation laser can’t see.
