the front of the robot. The Ava 500 uses the LIDAR system both to map the location and to navigate over
longer distances, such as down a hallway.
The Ava 500 body refers to the robot without the EX60 installed. The body consists of a torso and a base. The
back includes a stop button and handle on the torso, and the service compartment and charging station connector
plate on the base (Figure 4).
•
Stop button: When the stop button is pushed in, the Ava 500 cannot move autonomously or be driven
manually by a remote user. Push the button to engage it, twist to release. Use the stop button to prevent the
Ava 500 from driving autonomously if it recovers from a problem while you are pushing it back to the charging
station.
Because the stop button impedes wheel rotation, the Ava 500 is harder to move. If there is no
chance that the robot will be driven, for example it has a hardware fault, pushing the stop button is
not necessary.
Do not push or release the stop button while the Ava 500 is engaged with the charging station.
