2.5 Battery Handling
Like most applications using batteries with Lithium technology, special precautions should be taken to
handle this type of material. Battery packs should only be handled by trained personnel to ensure proper
handling. Be aware of the operating environments for OTTO AMRs and more specifically, the battery pack.
Warning
Whenever completing inspections or maintenance on or around the areas of an OTTO AMR
battery pack, follow the proper Lock-Out Tag-Out Procedure for the applicable vehicle. Not
properly following the Lock-Out Tag-Out procedure can result in live voltage locations on the
OTTO AMR. Always be sure to lock-out the robot before proceeding with inspections and
maintenance.
2.6 Overhang and Underhang Detection
Existing equipment in your facility could be rendered invisible to an OTTO AMR due to configuration of an
"overhang" - for example, a vehicle with wheels offset from the body of the vehicle itself. OTTO AMRs use
LiDAR to detect potential obstacles and obstacles located above an OTTO AMR's LiDAR detection plane
may not be perceived by an OTTO AMR. In this example, the OTTO AMR would detect the existing
equipment's wheels but not its body panels, increasing the possibility of a collision.
We encourage installation of perception-assist flaps (see the following) to assist OTTO AMRs without 3D
perception capabilities in detecting obstacles - especially in cases of potential mobile obstacles.
