Immobilization
In rare circumstances, it is possible for the AMR to become physically immobilized in a position from
which it cannot move without operator assistance. Immobilization may also occur from a low battery or
AMR error.
Precautions for Safe Use
Physical immobilization might cause motors in the AMR to overheat.
Additional Information
Side Lasers increase detection of overhanging objects and floor obstacles.
Refer to 1-6-5 Side Lasers on page 1-28 for additional information.
Some examples of physical immobilization are shown in the following figure.
