This would apply to areas where objects, such as pallets or carts, are moved so frequently that they can’t be mapped, or where they block the laser’s view of fea- tures that are mapped. This is covered in the LD Platform Peripherals Guide. Body and Drive The transporter is relatively small, lightweight, and highly maneuverable.
Page 12
The platform includes a safety scanning laser, a low front laser, two side lasers, a rear- facing laser, and two rear-facing sonar pairs. Each pair is one transmitter and one receiver. LD Cart Transporter User's Guide, 14766-000 Rev B Page 12 of 190...
Cart The Cart is a frame mounted on four casters, designed so that it can couple with an LD Cart Transporter. Once coupled, the cart moves with the transporter. When the transporter arrives at the intended goal, it uncouples from the cart and leaves, while the cart remains at the goal.
These allow a robot to be requested from a remote location, or allow the robot system to control an automated door, so the robot can pass through it. LD Cart Transporter User's Guide, 14766-000 Rev B Page 14 of 190...

It is the end-user’s responsibility to ensure that all personnel who will work with or around mobile robots have attended an appropriate Omron training course and have a working know- ledge of the system. The user must provide any necessary additional training for all personnel who will be working with the system.
Providing an interlock between the robot and facility equipment is the user’s responsibility. Configurable Warning Buzzer The LD Cart Transporters have a configurable warning buzzer. It is the user’s responsibility to configure this buzzer as appropriate for the facility in which the robot will be operating.The buzzer will sound whenever the robot is moving backwards or is turning.
Passing Lanes Since the LD Cart Transporter technology does not use fixed tracks to guide the robots, the con- cepts of passing lanes and human safety areas are not relevant.
(with no forward motion). Obstacles If the LD Cart Transporter will be entering high-traffic areas, the user must take appropriate precautions to alert people in those areas that a robot might enter. If the traffic consists of other machines, the user must adjust the robot‘s and/or the other machine’s parameters to reduce...
Robot Modifications If the user or integrator makes any changes to the LD platform or cart, it is their responsibility to ensure that there are no sharp edges, corners, or protrusions.
Configure the robot for your environment, so it can perform useful tasks. This includes generating the map that the LD Cart Transporter will use for its nav- igation. This procedure and parameter configuration is covered in the Mobile Robot Soft- ware Suite User's Guide.

After the caster cables are adjusted correctly, ensure that the actuator bar just touches its hard stop. This will keep the actuator bar in position if you have to adjust the lever cable. LD Cart Transporter User's Guide, 14766-000 Rev B Page 60 of 190...
The LD Cart Transporter comes with firmware and on-board software installed. Configuration of an LD Cart Transporter is done using the MobilePlanner software. Con- figuration includes generation of the map that the robot will use for navigation. The cart park- ing goals need to be added to that map.
NOTE: Although an LD Cart Transporter is capable of working without wireless Ethernet if there are no other LD Cart Transporters that it needs to know about (and to avoid), that is the exception. In most cases, wireless Ethernet will be needed.
Page 63
Ensure that, in such cases, you have adequate wireless coverage. Because of the variation pos- sible in different environments, we don't specify what components or techniques should be used to obtain this coverage. LD Cart Transporter User's Guide, 14766-000 Rev B Page 63 of 190...
In order to have your LD Cart Transporter perform autonomous mobile activities, you need to make a map of its operating space. Configuration includes generation of the map that the LD Cart Transporter will use for navigation. The cart parking goals need to be added to that map.
