Anti-collision beams are mounted around the vehicle to reduce possible damages to the vehicle body
during a collision..
Lights are both mounted at front and at back of the vehicle, of which the white light is designed for
illumination in front whereas the red light is designed at rear end for warning and indication.
Emergency stop buttons are installed on both sides of the robot to ensure easy access and pressing
either one can shut down power of the robot immediately when the robot behaves abnormally.
Water-proof connectors for DC power and communication interfaces are provided both on top and at
the rear of the robot, which not only allow flexible connection between the robot and external
components but also ensures necessary protection to the internal of the robot even under severe
operating conditions.
A bayonet open compartment is reserved on the top for users.
2.1 Status indication
Users can identify the status of vehicle body through the voltmeter, the beeper and lights mounted on
SCOUT 2.0. For details, please refer to Table 2.1.
Status
Description
Voltage
The current battery voltage can be read from the voltmeter on the rear electrical
interface and with an accuracy of 1V.
Replace battery
When the battery voltage is lower than 22.5V, the vehicle body will give a beep-
beep-beep sound as a warning.
When the battery voltage is detected as lower than
22V, SCOUT 2.0 will actively cut off the power supply to external extensions
and drive to prevent the battery from being damaged. In this case, the chassis will
not enable movement control and accept external command control.
Robot powered on
Front and rear lights are switched on.

2.2.1 Top electrical interface
SCOUT 2.0 provides two 4-pin aviation connectors and one DB9 (RS232) connector. (The current
version can be used for upgrade of firmware but do not support for command.)
