Intended Use

The LD Platform-based mobile robots are not intended for use in any of the following situations:

In hazardous (explosive) atmospheres

In the presence of ionizing or non-ionizing radiation

In life-support systems

In residential installations

Where the equipment will be subject to extremes of heat or humidity

In mobile, portable, marine, or aircraft systems
NOTE: The gyroscope used to assist in navigation in LD Platforms requires a stationary environment for
optimum accuracy. Therefore, we do not recommend them for use on a ship, train, aircraft, or other
moving environment.
WARNING: The instructions for operation, installation, and maintenance given in this guide and the
robot user's guide must be strictly observed.
Non-intended Use
Non-intended use of LD Platforms can:

Cause injury to personnel

Damage the robot or other equipment

Reduce system reliability and performance

LD Platforms are intended for use on generally level floors, in wheelchair-accessible areas.

The body of the robot must not come into contact with liquids. The drive wheels can tolerate
damp floors, but the body of the robot must remain dry.

If there is any doubt concerning the application, ask Omron Adept Technologies, Inc. to
determine if it is an intended use or not.
Robot Modifications
If the user or integrator makes any changes to the platform, it is their responsibility to ensure that there
are no sharp edges, corners, or protrusions.
Note that any change to the platform can lead to loss in safety or functionality. It is the responsibility of
the user or integrator to ensure that all safety features are operational after modifications.
