Troubleshooting

While using the robot you may encounter some common problems. The first is that the robot may get stuck on the wire covers on the floor of room EB-2029. DO NOT lift the robot off of the floor. This will give erroneous readings for the robot’s map and laser and may cause collisions of chairs to take place. Instead, give the robot a gentle push in the direction it is attempting to move. DO NOT push directly on the robot’s bumpers, rather give the robot a gentle push on the chassis. Second, the robot’s electric motors may stall while trying to turn with a chair. If this happens, do not panic. The robot will try to keep turning until it once again gets traction. If the robot can get no traction, give it a gentle push in the direction it is trying to turn. Once again DO NOT push directly on the bumpers. Lastly for some lighting has been a concern for when the robot is in operation. For best effectiveness, the robot works best with the room lights ON, and the dimmer set to a level of 70-80%.

Troubleshooting Summary

• DO NOT lift robot off of floor; give a gentle push to the robot.
• DO NOT push directly on the robot’s rear bumper, push on the chassis instead.
• DO NOT panic if the motors stall, wait before taking action.
• If robot locks up, hit the red reset button on the chassis and reconnect, kill all sessions and reconnect.
