2.3. Intended use

MiR200 is intended to be commissioned and used in indoor industrial environments where access for the public is restricted. For details about the environmental conditions in which the robot should operate, see Technical specifications on our website.
MiR200 is intended to be commissioned according to Commissioning on page18 and prepared to the environment according to the guidelines. This is a prerequisite for safe usage of MiR200.
MiR200 is designed and all risks are considered when used with one of the following types of top applications:
• MiRHook 200 to tow trailers.
• A custom designed top application (including payload) designed to fulfill the following
requirements:
- Must not increase the footprint of MiR200 and be within the requirements in Payload
specifications
- Must not have any moving parts
MiR200 can be used as a partly complete machine as defined in the EU machinery directive, with top applications that do not meet above limitations. Those who design, manufacture or commission a system that does not meet the limitations of use of MiR200, carry the obligations of a manufacturer and shall ensure a safe design according to EN ISO 12100. Guidelines outlined in this manual are not sufficient. Examples of top applications, which are not intended use of MiR200, but not limited to, are:
• Shelf on supporting legs (with or without wheels)
• Top applications (including payload) which increase the footprint of MiR200
• Conveyers (power and non-powered)
• Industrial robot arm
• Customized load transfer station

2.4. Foreseeable misuse

Any use or application deviating from the intended use is deemed to be misuse. This includes, but is not limited to:
• Use of the robot to transport people.
Risk of injury.
MiR200 User guide (en) 09/2019 - v.1.4 ©Co pyright 2019: Mobile Industrial Robo ts A/S. 10
Page 11
2. Safety
• Steep ramps on the route.
Risk of injury. Steep surface grades (ramps etc.) may cause the robot to skid. See Tech­nical specifications on the website.
• Use outdoor.
Risk of injury. MiR200 is designed and intended for indoor use only.
• Overloading of the robot.
Risk of injury. If the maximum payload on top of the robot is exceeded, it may cause over­turning, falling load. See Technical specifications on the website.
• Failure to follow the guidelines for commissioning
See Commissioning on page18.
• Failure to make a risk assessment of the full installation
See Risk assessment below. This applies to the robot with any extra modules installed.
• Operation outside the permissible operating rating parameters and environmental
specifications
Risk of instability, impact or tipping over.
• Transportation of liquids or food
Risk of instability.
• Use in potentially explosive environments
• Use in medical and life critical applications

2.5. Risk assessment

One of the most important steps in achieving a safe installation is to make a risk assessment. The risk assessment is the responsibility of the individuals who are commissioning MiR200 in the environment it will be used in. Most often it will be an integrator who also designs and/or builds work cells or other required infrastructure related to MiR200.
The risk assessment must cover not only MiR200 itself, but also take into account potential potential load transfer stations, work cells and the environment it will be used in. See MiR100 and MiR200 Risk Analysis on the distributor page.
It is recommended that the integrator uses guidelines in ISO 12100, EN 1525, ANSI B56.5 or other relevant standards to conduct the risk assessment.
The risk assessment shall at least consider the following scenarios:
• Detailed description of the robot installation.
• Normal operation of the robot installation.
MiR200 User guide (en) 09/2019 - v.1.4 ©Co pyright 2019: Mobile Industrial Robo ts A/S. 11
Page 12
2. Safety
In EN 1525, clause 4 there is a list of significant hazards, hazardous situations and events which can be used for inspiration.
The risk assessment shall be written and saved as part of the technical file.

2.6. Residual risks

Mobile Industrial Robots has identified the potential significant hazards listed below as hazards that must be considered by the integrator.
• Being run over, drawing-in, trapping or impact if a person steps into the route or walks
towards MiR200 while driving in reverse. The MiR200 will only drive in reverse when park­ing or picking up a cart or undocking from a marker such as the MiRCharge 24V.
• Crushing or trapping if user touches MiR200. Please notice the warnings on MiR200.
• Crushing, drawing-in or trapping at load transfer stations, work cells or charging stations.
NOTICE
Other significant hazards will be present in a specific robot installation and shall be identified during Commissioning.

2.7. Safety-related functions and interfaces

MiR200 is equipped with a range of built-in safety-related functions as well as safety-related electrical interfaces designed for integration with a top module and/or top manipulator. Each safety function and interface is designed according to the standard ISO 13849-1.
The safety-related functions and interfaces are selected to support compliance with EN
1525.

2.8. Limiting safety-related functions

MiR200 has several built-in safety-related functions that are used to ensure safe operation in the environment it is designed to be used in.
Advanced control software ensures that locomotion and the drive pattern are within safety related limits and thereby avoid triggering a safety function. Violations of limits will hence only occur in exceptional cases. Nevertheless, if a limit is violated, the safety system issues a category 0 stop (stopping by “immediate removal of power to the machine actuators according to IEC 60204-1”) followed by a controlled brake which brings MiR200 to a stop.
See Technical specifications on our website for more details.

Page 13
2. Safety
Collision avoidance
The collision avoidance safety function ensures that the robot will come to a stop before it collides with a human or object.
The function measures the speed on the two driving wheels and switches between the predefined protective fields accordingly. The faster the speed, the larger the protective fields will be.
This ensures that the robot will be brought to a stop in case a human or object is detected within the active protective field.
Collision avoidance is automatically deactivated two seconds after the protective field is free.
Overspeed avoidance
The safety system monitors if the speed of each motor is above limits for maximum rated speed and hence an indication of speed control is lost for any reason.
The overspeed avoidance safety function must be manually deactivated by activation of the restart button.
Emergency stop
MiR200 has one emergency stop device.
The emergency stop is only intended to be used in case of an emergency and shall not be used for operational stop.
Emergency stop must be manually deactivated by activation of the restart button.

5. Product presentation

5. Product presentation
MiR200 is an autonomous mobile robot that can transport loads up to 200 kg and pallets indoors within production facilities, warehouses, and other industrial locations.
Users operate MiR200 via a web-based user interface, which is accessed via a browser on a PC, smartphone or tablet. Each robot has its own network. See Connecting to the robot
interface on page23. The robot can be set up to run a fixed route, be called on demand or
perform more complex operations (missions).
The robot performs localization and navigation via a map which can be created or imported the first time the robot is used. The internal map contains defined locations (office, product delivery, production hall etc.) that are used for logistical planning. While operating, the safety laser scanners ensure that the robot avoids dynamic obstacles (people, furniture) that are not mapped.
With a MiRCharge 24V, the robot handles moving to a charging station automatically. All it takes is the definition of a charging mission and a charging position on the map.

5.1. Main features of MiR200

The main features of the MiR200 are:
• Driving in a populated workspace
The robot is designed to operate among people and maneuvers safely and efficiently in even highly dynamic environments.
• Overall route planning and local adjustments
The robot autonomously navigates to find the most efficient path to its destinations. The robot adjusts the path when it encounters obstacles which are not on the map (like people and objects).
• Efficient transportation of heavy loads
The robot is designed to automate transportation of loads up to 200 kg across industries, allowing employees to focus on higher value activities.
• Sound and light signals
The robot continuously signals with light and sounds indicating its current mode, for example waiting for job, driving to destination, destination reached or alert mode.

Page 31
5. Product presentation
• User friendly and flexible
The web-based user interface, accessed from a PC, tablet or smartphone, gives easy access to operation and monitoring of the robot and can be programmed without any prior experience. Different user group levels and tailored dashboards can be set up to suit the different users.
• Alert for ‘lost’
If the robot enters a situation where it is unable to find a path to its destination, it stops, turns on the yellow-purple running error light and a customer defined ‘catch’ action may be used to alert people or take other actions.
• Automatic deceleration for objects
The built-in sensors ensure that the robot is slowed down when obstacles are detected in front of it.
• Optimal surface operations
The robot is made to run on a level, dry floor and 3D cameras detect and avoid objects.
• Internal map
The robot can either use a floor plan from a CAD system or a map can be created by manual navigation around the entire site in which the robot is going to operate. When mapping, the robot’s sensors detect walls, doors, furniture and then creates a map based on this input. After creation of the map, positions and other features can be added in the map editor.
Add-ons
The following add-ons are available for the MiR200:
• MiRHook 200
A hook may be mounted on MiR200 enabling it to automate the internal transport of carts.

Collaboration between the robot’s internal and external sensors ensures that the robot can navigate in the environment and most importantly secures that it can operate safely among people and objects, like furniture, machines, pallets etc.
This section describes the functionality of the different parts of the sensor system.
Safety laser scanners
The safety laser scanners on MiR200 are of the type SICK S300. In this guide, the term safety laser scanner is used.
Scanner functions
Two safety laser scanners, diagonally placed on front and rear corners of the robot, scan their surroundings. Each safety laser scanner has a 360° field of view up to 1 meter around the robot, providing visual protection around the robot.
The safety laser scanners serve three purposes:
• They are used for mapping, see also MiR Robot Interface 2.0 Reference Guide.
• They are used to localize the robot in the environment and plan routes between points.
MiR200 User guide (en) 09/2019 - v.1.4 ©Co pyright 2019: Mobile Industrial Robo ts A/S. 35
Page 36
5. Product presentation
• They continuously scan the surroundings when the robot operates, thereby avoiding col-
lision with objects and people.
The safety laser scanners detect objects in a plane approximately 200 mm above ground. Objects above or below are not detected by the safety laser scanners.
When in motion, the safety laser scanners continuously scan the surroundings using a distance of up to 2.5 m.
When mapping, the safety laser scanner’s view is reduced to 20 m to support that maps will get the highest possible quality.
The safety laser scanners see up to 20 m when mapping an area.
Signals from safety laser scanners are combined with input from 3D cameras and proximity sensors and used to evaluate if an object or person is in the path of travel. In that case, the robot gradually slows down while trying to avoid the obstacle. If unable to make its way around the obstacle, the robot stops and waits for clearance.
Protective field sets
The protective field sets are part of the robot’s personnel detection means. The protective field sets consist of individually configured contours around the robot. MiR200 activates the correct field set based on the speed. If a person or object within the area active protective field set, the robot will do a protective stop and remain stopped until the protective field set is free.
The following tables show the sizes of the protective fields sets at given speeds. The faster the robot moves, the larger the scanners' field set.
The protective field sets differ for forwards and backwards driving.

5. Product presentation
Field sets for forwards driving direction
The following table shows speeds and field sets in forwards driving direction. The table describes the length of the field set in front of the robot in different cases. Each case is defined by a speed interval that the robot may operate at. The colors and cases in the table correspond to the field set shown in the illustration below.
Case Speed Field set in front of robot Comments
1 -1.40 to 0.20 m/s 20 mm Reversing and slowly forwards
2 0.21 to 0.40 n/s 120 mm
3 0.41 to 0.80 m/s 290 mm
4 0.81 to 1.10 m/s 430 mm
5 1.11 to 2.00 m/s 720 mm Forwards at max. speed
The illustration shows the field set contours in forwards driving direction. The reach of the field set changes with the robot's speed. In Case 1 the field set reaches 20 mm ahead, in Case 2 it reaches 120 mm ahead etc.

Field sets for backwards driving direction
This table shows speeds and field sets in backwards driving direction. The colors correspond to the field set shown in the illustration below.
Case Speed Field set Comments
1 -1.14 to 1.80 m/s 30 mm Reversing and slowly backwards
2 -0.20 to 0.15 m/s 120 mm
3 0.40 to 0.21 m/s 290 mm
4 -1.50 to 0.41 m/s 430 mm Backwards at max. speed
The illustration shows the field set contours in backwards driving direction. The reach of the field set changes with the robot's speed. The illustration also shows how the front scanner reduces its protective field sets to a minimum when the robot moves backwards.
NOTICE
Protective field tolerances
Scanners measure distances to diffuse reflections which means that a tolerance is added to the protective field sets to secure a safe detection of persons crossing the protective field sets. The tolerance distance is 100 mm.

5. Product presentation
CAUTION
The protective field sets are configured to comply with the safety standards of MiR200.
If they are changed, Mobile Industrial Robots takes no responsibility for any safety related incidents, and the warranty becomes void.
3D cameras
Two 3D depth cameras positioned on the front of the robot detect objects in front of the robot while the robot’s local planner continuously adjusts its planned routes around such objects.
The 3D cameras detect objects:
• Vertically up to 1800 mm at a distance of 1950 mm in front of the robot.
• Horizontally 180 mm to the first view of ground.
The 3D cameras do not detect objects within 50 mm of the lenses.
The space from the floor and vertically up to 50 mm is ignored. This space increases by 10 mm for every one meter horizontally.
The camera readouts are used as 3D point cloud data. They are not recording recognizable objects or people.
The following illustrations show the field of view of the cameras.
