Definitions:

  1. Full Battery: It represents the maximum value of the robot’s battery when it is fully charged, i.e. 100%. The system automatically sets it to the maximum battery values that were initially read. This value can be modified using the API.
  2. Working Battery Level: It represents the battery level at which the robot can start carrying out tasks. This value can be modified using the API.
  3. Emergency Battery Level The ‘Emergency Battery Level’ indicates the battery level at which the robot is sent to the charging station.
  4. Emergency Distance: The distance that can be covered by the Emergency Battery level.

Setting up this values is required so the Vehicles tab in the main dashboard displays battery data.

When a robot’s battery level or distance is below the set emergency levels, the robot will automatically go to a charging station or a safe zone. At the same time, a notification will be sent to your dashboard.

Charging stations and safe zones can besignated via map editing.
