6.5 Making a Map of Your Environment

In order to have your AMR perform autonomous mobile activities, you need to make a map of
its environment. Use the MobilePlanner software to make a map. Refer to the FLOW Core
User's Guide.
The tasks involved are:
Make a scan of the operating space while driving the AMR with the joystick.
l
Load that scan from the AMR into MobilePlanner, on your PC, to create and edit the
l
map.
Transfer the working map back to the AMR or EM.
l
Localize the AMR with the newly-created map.
l
This is especially important for Acuity localization. Ensuring that the AMR is properly
localized, as opposed to offset by one or more lights, is critical.

NOTE: It is a good idea to have the automated docking station installed
before you make the scan. The distinctive angle and shape of the front of
the docking station will be useful in locating and setting it up in the map.
