Warning In order to send out a mission, the Meili Agent needs to be installed. Go to Installing Meili Agent for the installation guidelines.

Also, you need to have your map ready with added obstacles, points, and paths. If you missed this step, go to Editing a Map.

Once the Meili Agent is up and running and the maps are ready, you can actually see your robots live on the map on the ‘Missions’ page.

Congratulations, you are now ready to send out a mission!
