2.5 Intended Use
at pickup and dropoff locations where the AIV must get close to conveyors or other fixed
objects.
The primary direction of travel of the LD Platform Cart Transporter is forward. When the trans-
porter is turning in place, with no forward movement, the detection of an obstacle in its path
of rotation will not trigger an E-Stop.
Obstacles
If the LD Platform Cart Transporter will be entering high-traffic areas, the user must take appro-
priate precautions to alert people in those areas that an AIV 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 collision.
Safety Scanning Laser Emergency Stop
If an obstacle enters the transporter's immediate path, the safety scanning laser will trigger an
emergency stop. After the transporter has come to a complete stop, it will wait a minimum of
two seconds before resuming commanded motion, with no human intervention necessary.
If the obstacle is still in the transporter's path, it will first attempt to safely path plan
l
and maneuver around the obstacle, if there is adequate room.
If the transporter can't simply maneuver around the obstacle, it will search for another
l
path to reach its goal.
If it can't find another path, it will wait for human intervention.
