What a mobile robot does when a person or obstacle enters its safety field: slow down, stop, wait, reroute or call for help.
Drawing diagram…
Mobile robot safety workflow: the safety laser scanner detects an object in the warning field and the robot slows down. If the object enters the protective field it performs a safety stop. It waits for the field to clear; if cleared it resumes. If still blocked after 30 seconds it asks the fleet manager for a new route; if no route exists it raises an alert for a human to clear the aisle. Emergency stop buttons override everything.
