4 Operation
• The AMR can cause serious injury to personnel or damage to itself if a dangerous
area is not properly configured in the map and blocked with a physical barrier.
• Abrupt appearance of objects or persons in the path of the AMR could result in per-
sonal injury or property damage. You must make sure that the operating environ-
ment of the AMR is adequately controlled.
• Do not walk or run in the travel path of the AMR or directly toward the AMR.
• Do not approach the AMR from the side or the direction opposing travel.
• Do not expose the AMR to rain or moisture.
• An AMR can be unsafe if operated under environmental conditions other than those
specified in this manual.
• Dust, dirt, grease, and water (or other liquids) can affect wheel traction, as well as
operation of the drive wheels. If the drive wheels slip, it can potentially affect operat-
ing duration, stopping distance, and navigation accuracy.
• Do not expose the AMR to an ingress above IP22 or a high-humidity environment.
Precautions for Safe Use
• Bright, direct, or high-intensity light can interfere with the AMR's laser operation. Do not oper-
ate the AMR in areas where it may be exposed to these conditions.
• Do not operate the AMR in areas where environmental conditions are beyond what is speci-
fied in this document.
Precautions for Correct Use
• Do not operate the AMR on soft surfaces such as carpet.
• The AMR is designed and intended to operate on smooth floors. While it is capable of driving
over a step or gap, frequent or high-speed driving over steps or gaps will shorten the lifespan
of the drivetrain components.
Regularly maintain the workspace as follows:
• Immediately remove any material on the workspace floor, such as dust, dirt, grease, ice, or pooled
liquid. Objects on the floor might interfere with safe driving and accurate navigation. Any material
that affects the drive wheel traction impairs the AMR's ability to drive, stop, turn, and navigate. Pay
particular attention to goal locations and commonly traveled paths.
• Keep the AMR workspace clean and free of movable transient objects such as pallets, carts and fur-
niture. Any objects that block the mapped permanent features of the workspace (such as walls, col-
umns and doors) can interfere with navigation, causing the AMR to be less efficient.
• Clean the floor at goal locations such as Docking Targets or pick up and dropoff points. Accumulat-
ed dust, debris, or grease can affect AMR traction, which reduces positioning accuracy and repeata-
bility, potentially wasting battery power.
• If the HAPS option is installed, inspect and clean or replace HAPS magnetic tape.
• If you make a permanent change to the workspace, such as by installing a large fixed machine, con-
sider re-mapping the impacted area to incorporate the change, particularly if the change blocks the
AMR's ability to scan original workspace features.
