Obstacles

If the AIV 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 AIV's and/or the other machine's parameters to reduce the risk of a col-
lision.

2.5 Intended Use

The LD Platform-based mobile robots are not intended for use in any of the following situ-
ations:
In hazardous (explosive) atmospheres
l
In the presence of ionizing or non-ionizing radiation
l
In life-support systems
l
In residential installations
l
Where the equipment will be subject to extremes of heat or humidity
l
In mobile, portable, marine, or aircraft systems
l
NOTE: The gyroscope used to assist in navigation in LD Platforms requires
a stationary environment for optimum accuracy. Therefore, we do not recom-
mend them for use on a ship, train, aircraft, or other moving environment.

Non-intended Use

Non-intended use of LD Platforms can:
Cause injury to personnel
l
Damage the robot or other equipment
l
Reduce system reliability and performance
l
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 determ-
ine if it is an intended use or not.

Robot Modifications

If the user or integrator makes any changes to the LD platform, it is their responsibility to
ensure that there are no sharp edges, corners, or protrusions.
