5.4  Test launch 

When you flashed the robot, you can start a testing launch process. Test launch is a 
process of testing for Marvelmind Small Robot. Test launch consists building a simple 
map and a simple path for robot. If you are experienced enough, you can skip this part 
and go forward to “Launching robots in custom maps” chapter. 

Marvelmind Indoor “GPS” system included only in Advanced configuration. For Basic and 
Standard sold separately. 

How to: 

1)  Place stationary beacons as described on the picture below:  

2)  Install and launch Marvelmind Dashboard 

3)  Connect Modem to your PC via USB and update it with the corresponding SW 

4)  Turn on the robot and wait for 1 minute, until the robot is fully loaded.
