System overview

Our web application facilitates the operation and management of the robot within a map-based environment. This section provides an overview of how maps, markers, marker links, missions, and actions are utilized to manipulate the robot effectively.

The robot is designed to operate within a mapped environment. Users can add new maps by using the robot's mapping capabilities. This process involves navigating the robot through the area to capture data and generate a comprehensive map.

While the system can store multiple maps, only one map can be activated at any given time. The active map is the primary environment in which the robot operates.

Maps contain various markers, marker links, and missions:

  • Markers: These are specific positions on the map that serve as reference points for the robot. They can represent destinations, waypoints, or locations where actions need to be performed (e.g., VL marker).
  • Marker Links: These are paths connecting two markers. They define the routes the robot can take between markers. It have multiple properties such as: straight/curve, one/two way, maximum velocity, et cetera
  • Missions: Each map contains various missions. A mission is a predefined set of actions that the robot will execute within the map. When a map is activated, its missions become available for execution.
