Chapter 10 Connecting to robots
There are 5 entities in the example above that are related in a hierarchical structure. The
parent entity is the "City Authority". It has 4 child entities ("Sports Field 1", "Sports Field 2",
"Park West" and "Park East"). The entity "Park West" has a child entity "Golf Course".
An entity is a group of users and robots associated with a "site". Each entity can have a
number of robots that are used within the site.
Users and Roles
A user has an account that is associated with an entity. This is referred to as the user's
"home" entity. The information and the operations available to a user depend on the roles that

Information about users and their roles is available online on the "FAQ" page.
Robots
Robots are transferred from a parent entity to a child entity when the robot is "sold" by the
parent to its child. The end-user entity and the end-user account used to access the web
server are created at the moment when the robot is commissioned. See

By the end-user who has purchased a robot. This uses the information on the registration
card supplied with the robot. See
Creation of an account by an end-user
(page 150).
•
Once you have created an account you need to
