Default: 500. This is the length of time between warnings that the buzzer is silent. Set-
ting this to 0 will cause a continuous warning.

Multi-Vehicle Avoidance

When multiple vehicles are operating in the same operating space, they must be connected to
an Enterprise Manager 1100 (EM) via WiFi. The EM helps prevent collisions by sharing
vehicles' dynamic X, Y, Theta, size, and path-planning information with each other. Vehicles
then factor this data into their obstacle avoidance. This is not an interlocked method of pre-
venting collisions. Ultimately, it is the end-user/integrator's responsibility to provide an inter-
locked method of preventing collisions.
NOTE: If two robots are approaching each other, neither will not see the other
because the incoming laser beams are detected as reflected beams. Because of this,
any installation with more than one robot working in the same operating space
must be managed by the same Enterprise Manager 1100.

2.4 Environment

General Environmental Conditions

It is the end-user's responsibility to ensure that the operating environment of the platform
remains safe for the platform. If there are areas that are not safe for the platform to travel in,
those areas should be physically blocked off so that the platform's scanning laser will detect
the barriers, and the platform will not attempt to drive there. These areas can also be blocked
off with forbidden zones in the MobilePlanner software, but that should be in addition to phys-
ical barriers.

Public Access

The LD 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 LD platform is designed to operate in an environment that is generally level and has no
doors or other restricted areas too narrow for the AIV. It is the user's responsibility to ensure
that adequate clearance is maintained on each side of the AIV, so that a person cannot get
trapped between the AIV 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 AIV must get close to conveyors or other fixed objects.
The primary direction of travel of the LD Platform is forward. When the LD Platform is turn-
ing in place, with no forward movement, the detection of an obstacle in its path of rotation
will not trigger an E-Stop.
Chapter 2: Safety
WARNING: Personnel who work with or around the robot should not stand
close to the robot when it is turning in place (with no forward motion).
