Overview

In general, setup is the physical and logical preparation of the platform, configuration of the
wireless network, and the installation of the docking station. The physical preparation of the
platform includes attaching your payload structure to the platform.
Setup also includes generation of the map that the platform will use for navigation. This
manual provides an overview of that process, which is covered in detail in the Mobile Robot
Software Suite User's Guide.

Tasks

Most of the steps in setting up a platform are straightforward. The design and construction of
the payload structure needs to be tailored to your application.
