AutoXing Enlarged Robot Models: Sensor/Camera Safety and Upkeep

Sensor and Camera Basics      

Sensors and cameras are how robots see! When objects (even one's as small as dust particles) are obstructing camera view, it can be like they are driving with one eye closed! Keeping your robot's sensors and cameras clean is crucial in making sure your robot is operating at optimal heath. To do this, it is important to know where your robot's cameras and sensors are and how to properly upkeep them. 

AutoXing Camera and Sensor Locations (Enlarged Robot)

Top Cameras

1. Front Facing Camera
      a. This camera faces directly forwards so the robot can recognize tall objects in front of it. 
      b. Do not put anything on or in front of this camera including anything that may dangle in front of it. 

2. Wide Angle Camera
      a.  This camera sees forwards and wide so the robot can see objects in front of it that may be off to the sides. 
      b. Do not put anything on, in front of, or to the side of this camera including objects that may dangle off of the sides of the robot. 



Bottom Cameras

1. 360 LiDAR Camera
      a. This LiDAR camera shoots a laser in a circle motion around the robot to measure its distance from other objects.
      b. Do not put anything on or in front of this camera including anything that may dangle in front of it from the bottom tray. 



2. Fisheye Camera
      a. This camera gives a fisheye view of where the robot is traveling. It helps detect small obstacles close to ground level. This camera is also used when the robot is mapped or when it needs to be driven remotely for troubleshooting. 
      b.  Do not put anything on or in front of this camera including anything that may dangle in front of it. 




Sensor and Camera Upkeep

To keep your robot operating efficiently and your cameras/sensors in good health...

1. Clean up any spills IMMEDIATELY. 
           a. The robots entire computer system rests in the base of the chassis. Keeping this dry so no liquid seeps into the computer components is extremely important. 

2. Quickly check all cameras and sensors for dust and dirt daily before operating. 
      a. Use a microfiber screen/glass cleaning cloth to remove any specs. 
      b. Having dust on the lenses can create blind spots in your robot's vision making it unable to recognize obstacles in its way.

3. Use canned air and spray around the LiDAR area (beneath the bottom tray) weekly. 

4. ALWAYS make sure that no decorations on the robot impede the cameras' or sensors' vision. 
      a. Prospera does not recommend having any decorations or objects on the robot that could dangle in a way where the cameras or sensors could see them. The robot will detect these objects as something to avoid and will try to continuously maneuver around them making its movements sporadic and confusing.
