ExRobotics ExR-1 Operating Manual page 9

The autonomy controls are grouped together:
▪
When the "Keep Awake" box is ticked the robot won't sleep. If it's unticked the robot will
▪
save 4G costs and battery power by sleeping (whether or not it's docked).
Select a mission using the drop-down box. To launch the mission, click on the "Play"
▪
button to the left of the mission drop-down box, to cancel the mission press the button
again. Only launch a mission when an orange line is visible in the Floor Cam window (so
the robot can orientate itself) or when the robot is in a docking station.
Using the cursor to activate the "Stop" button has the same effect as pressing the
▪
emergency stop switch on the gamepad. The drive motors are isolated until the switch is
released. This is done using "Auto" or the green button on the gamepad.
The gas detectors and lights controls are accessed by clicking on "More".
▪
The top right of the screen shows the robot's status. A tick adjacent to each item
▪
indicates:
In Dock – robot is on the docking station.
o
Charger connected – the robot's coil is connected to that in the docking station.
o
Charging – current is flowing into the battery pack.
o
E-Stop Released – the robot's emergency stop has been released ready to drive.
o
Motors Enabled – the robot's motors are not isolated anymore, so the robot can be
o
driven manually or autonomously (this takes a few seconds to change after checking
the "Auto" box or pressing the green gamepad button).
Driving – the robot is in motion.
o
Gas Detectors On – The gas detectors are powered up (they have individual warm-up
o
times and only after this time the gas displays will start showing measurement
values).
Manual Control – the robot is being controlled from this control station by a driver.
o
Hovering over an icon or text will often provide more information.
▪
Drivers can change the robot location on the screen by clicking on the "Site Config" option
▪
in the navigation menu to the top left of the screen. They can report issues to our
engineers using the "Feedback" option in the user menu to the top right of the screen.
