7.2 Typical Operation

1
During normal startup, your platform powers all its onboard systems and runs its onboard
software and your integrated processes automatically to provide an application-ready AIV. If it
has been given a map of its workspace and knows where it is within that environment (loc-
alized), your AIV is ready to perform on startup and will operate autonomously, without
human intervention.
Paths are not pre-programmed, but instead are generated dynamically onboard the platform.
Paths are updated many times per second to maintain a smooth trajectory and to account for
any obstacles that are detected by the onboard sensors. Navigational parameters are stored
onboard the platform, and can be viewed and modified using the MobilePlanner software,
which is covered in the Mobile Robot Software Suite User's Guide.
The MobilePlanner application, running on your computer, is used to configure the many
high-level operating characteristics of the platform, including speeds and accelerations, sensor
safety zones, minimum battery level allowed before docking for recharging, which map to use,
and many other parameters. The MobilePlanner software typically communicates with the plat-
form over the wireless network. A direct connection, through the Maintenance Ethernet port on
the platform, is also possible.
