    In the case of teleoperated navigation, it is necessary to maintain a safety distance of at least 2.5 meters with the robot. Injuries can be caused in particular by collisions. XO is suitable for areas where access is limited to trained personnel. Keep untrained people away from the robot during operation to avoid injury. COLLISIONS XO can collide with a person, animal or objects, even if its obstacle detection system is activated.
  • Page 12 Cases of possible collisions with the XO robot: Wi-Fi signal lost The XO robot may lose its connection to the XO PILOT application and thus no longer follow its initial navigation Obstacles Some obstacles may be hit despite the obstacle detection system being activated Steep inclination The robot can be carried away by its weight.

    Regular stop Press the PAUSE button on the XO PILOT App to stop the robot. It will stop and stay put. If scarification is in progress, it will also stop. In an emergency, press the emergency stop button on the Tablet.
  • Page 28 Automatic stop Thanks to its on-board cameras, XO can automatically stop or pause in certain situations (eg detection of dead chickens, rigid obstacles, low walls,etc). Note: Loss of network or an unreadable TAG can also cause the robot to stop.

  • Page 29: Programs

    6 PROGRAMS The XO robot was designed to navigate the entire litter surface autonomously. A program defines the movements of the XO robot in the poultry building. These programs can be used to automate repetitive trajectories. 6.1 NAVIGATION XO compares the data from its sensors with the data recorded in the predefined program to autonomously navigate the environment.
  • Page 30 XO PILOT Teleopération Teleoperation enables operation of the XO robot beyond line of sight by displaying images from the XO cameras directly on the XO PILOT app. Teleoperation exclusively uses the front-facing cameras of the XO robot. The teleoperation range of the XO depends on the communication and network configurations. Using the XO robot requires a good connection between Wi- Fi, the robot and the XO PILOT Tablet.

  • Page 32: Course

    XO is designed to be used under the supervision of an operator. Be prepared to stop program execution at any time. 6.4 OBSTACLE DETECTION The XO robot uses its perception system to automatically avoid bumping into obstacles. Thanks to LIDAR and its on-board camera system, the XO robot maintains a safe distance of approximately 5 cm with each obstacle encountered..
  • Page 33 XO can't see transparent or reflective materials Moving objects XO cannot predict the trajectories of moving animals/objects XO requires sufficient lighting to function properly. A minimum illumination is required for Tag reading and obstacle detection. Inadequate lighting On the other hand, too high brightness (low windows) can affect the navigation of the robot.
