Narrow gaps The robot is designed to navigate 0.8 meter
wide gaps. However some conditions might
prevent this and/or customers may wish to
navigate narrower gaps.
Thin and small Avoidance is optimised to avoid collisions
obstacles such with a variety of objects. Very small objects
as vertical are not considered as increased sensitivity
pipes. increases the likelihood of false-positive
avoidance.
Sharp turns The LiDAR cannot see low objects to the side
of the robot. If the robot turns sharply and
the object is within 0.85m of the front of the
robot it may not be detected.
Reversing The LiDAR cannot detect objects lower than
0.5m behind the robot and there's a blind
spot behind the inspection module.
Overhead The LiDAR might not detect low items that
obstacles are close to the robot and that might hit the
inspection module. This is especially
significant during sharp turns and for thin
overhead items like cables.
Shiny and low These objects might be detectable only close
reflection to the robot
objects.
Rain, steam These will obstruct the LiDAR's beam.
and snow Localisation and object detection will be less
effective.
Clear materials LiDAR will not detect objects like glass doors.
High contrast The LiDAR is not affected by light in the
environments visible range.

If there's a risk of collision,
choose a different route or
enclose such items in a larger
"box".
Avoid leaving small, temporary
items on the robot's routes.
Take this into account when
planning robot routes. Avoid
leaving low, temporary items
near sharp turns.
Only reverse over short
distances over which the robot
has recently driven forwards.
Keep robot routes clear of such
items.
Paint or cover these items.
Avoid leaving shiny, temporary
items on the robot's routes.
Provide remote human
supervision until you've
assessed the impact on the
robot's autonomous navigation.
Facilities seldom contain such
items.
