Terminology
Term | Explanation |
---|---|
Map |
The map is a combination of information retrieved from the navigation system installed on the robot and additional elements added by the user. For example: The Lidar system on James or Cruzr will fill in the map for the location and additional elements (POIs or walls) can be added using ZBOS Control. |
Wall |
A virtual obstruction, added to the map to block the robot from moving to restricted areas. |
POI |
A Point Of Interest for the robot to quickly and safely navigate to. |
SLAM |
The scanning- and navigation system installed on the robot. |
Scanning mode |
A mode used to update the map while the robot is moving. |
Navigation mode |
A mode used to move the robot without updating the map. Note however that obstacles will still be detected while the robot is moving. For example, the map will remain the same but the robot will move around temporary obstacles (e.g. boxes, desks, …) |
