6.2 Risk Reduction Despite the safety features OTTO Motors has put into place, the OTTO 100 V2.4 AMR is heavy and capable of moving quickly. The best way to ensure protection of life and equipment around the OTTO 100 V2.4 AMR is to keep a safe distance from it and pay attention to the light pipe and auditory warnings to anticipate the robot’s intentions.
Page 22
The OTTO 100 V2.4 AMR assumes the environment meets the requirements set by OTTO Motors for autonomous driving. Stairwells, loading docks, and other unprotected vertical drops must not be accessible to the OTTO 100 V2.4 AMR. It is unable to detect these vertical drops with its sensors.
OTT O 1 0 0 V 2. 4 • O M M- 00 0 09 4 • R EV . A Figure 5 Robot Charge Contacts Danger Area Pinch/Crush Objects can be pinched by lift plate. Never touch or place an object near the lift plate or near signal or charge contacts as this may result in pinching or crushing.
Proper PPE, including approved safety footwear with toe cap, should be worn when operating around the OTTO 100 V2.4 AMR. While operating in a hazard zone, such as narrow spaces and docking, the OTTO 100 AMR will reduce the buffer zone further and reduce speed.
6.5 Safety System Functionality The OTTO 100 V2.4 autonomous mobile robot (AMR) complies with ISO 3691-4 (2020) - Industrial trucks - Safety requirements and verification - Part 4: Driverless industrial trucks and their systems. The primary method of navigation and controlling the safety of motion is through the use of a robot- mounted laser scanner (Hokuyo UAM-05LP Safety Area Scanner) to ensure safe velocity and separation control.

External Emergency Stop 10.2.3.3 The OTTO 100 V2.4 AMR uses a two-channel, Emergency Stop system. The attachment interface provides a break-out of this two-channel circuit to allow for the incorporation of an attachment-mounted Emergency Stop trigger. This circuit operates by presenting a 24 V signal and monitoring the return lines. If the circuit is opened, the system will enter and remain in an Emergency Stop state.
Page 51
The interface presents access to two “dry” contact circuits which are controlled by the main safety relays of the OTTO 100 V2.4 AMR. A “dry” contact is a circuit that passes through a relay and has not been provided voltage, or “wetted”, by a voltage source.
If the OTTO 100 V2.4 AMR is in normal operation, opening the Auxiliary Contact Loop will prevent a reset of the Emergency Stop and clearing of safety stops. If the OTTO 100 V2.4 AMR is in an Emergency Stop state, opening this circuit is a way to prevent a reset of the Emergency Stop in a failure situation.
