CHAPTER 1. MMO-700
1.1. PRODUCT INFORMATION
The MMO-700’s four
(page 42) create very smooth omnidirectional movements. This is a
significant advantage over vehicles with Mecanum wheels when handling or transporting fragile or expensive parts.
The platform’s movement can be controlled by the free Robot Operating System. The Universal Robots arm, like
most suitable robot arms, can be configured with its original control software and manual control unit and connected
to ROS.
1.1 Product Information
1.1.1 Intended Use
The MMO-700 has been designed for use in service robotics research. It can be used for a wide range of different
experiments and tests in fields such as autonomous vehicles, mobile manipulation and factory automation.
The MMO-700 may only be used in laboratories, test halls or similar environments. It is not recommended to use the
MMO-700 in any other surrounding, especially not outdoors, in offices or factories.
1.1.2 Improper Use
Danger:
• The mobile robot must not be used for transportation of passengers in any way. No person must ride on the
robot itself, nor must the robot be used to move any other vehicle or hanger with passengers aboard.
• The mobile robot must not be operated in any publicly accessible area without safety assessment. If the
robot is to be modified either permanently (e.g. by mounting additional components) or temporarily (e.g. by
loading cargo) its safe operation must be assessed and approved.
• Without the safety approval described above, the mobile robot must at no times be used without supervision
of a qualified operator if there are guests, passers-by or other people unfamiliar with the robot within the
working area.
• The robot must never be operated in areas where there are staircases leading down, elevated platforms or
other possibilities for falling or dropping down. This may cause serious injuries or death!
