Y, Theta, size, and path-planning information with each other. AMRs then factor this data into
their obstacle avoidance. This is not a physical method of preventing collisions, such as inter-
locked gateways or barriers. Ultimately, it is the end-user/integrator's responsibility to provide
an interlocked method of preventing collisions.
IMPORTANT: When two AMRs approach each other directly, neither can prop-
erly determine the other's physical size. Their lasers scan several inches into the
other's laser slot, returning an incorrect distance estimate. Because of this, any
installation that has two or more AMRs working in the same operating space
must be managed by the same Fleet Manager.
NOTE: Software-based means of collision avoidance are not safety rated. Care
should be taken to control traffic flow using map features, and apply proper soft-
ware-based clearances. It is the user/integrators responsibility to evaluate if hard-
ware methods of collision avoidance are necessary for the application or
operating space. These could include physical barriers or interlocks in the oper-
ating space that are specific to your application.

2.4 Environment

General Environmental Conditions

You must always ensure that the platform's operating environment remains safe for the plat-
form. If there are unsafe areas for the platform, physically block those areas off so the plat-
form's scanning laser will detect the barriers, and the platform will not attempt to drive there.
You can also block off these area using forbidden zones in the MobilePlanner software, but
that should be in addition to physical barriers.

Public Access

The platform is designed for operating in indoor industrial or professional environments. It
must be deployed in a manner that takes into account potential risks to personnel and equip-
ment. The product is not intended for use in uncontrolled areas without risk analysis, for
example, areas open to general public access. Use in such areas may require deployment of
additional safety measures.

Clearance

The platform is designed to operate in an environment that is generally level and has no doors
or other restricted areas too narrow for the AMR. It is the user's responsibility to ensure that
adequate clearance is maintained on each side of the AMR, so that a person 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 dropoff loc-
ations where the AMR must get close to conveyors or other fixed objects.
The primary direction of travel of the platform is forward. When the platform is turning in
place, with no forward movement, the detection of an obstacle in its path of rotation will not
trigger an obstacle-detection condition.

CAUTION: PERSONAL INJURY RISK
Personnel who work with or around the AMR should not stand close to the
AMR when it is turning in place (with no forward motion).
