At a glance
Start with a route and site survey, then define dependencies and acceptance conditions before committing to deployment work.
Survey the intended route
Record floor condition, transitions, bottlenecks, pedestrian traffic and loading areas. Compare the completed robot envelope with the surveyed route.
List site dependencies
Confirm charging access, communications and interactions with doors, lifts or other equipment. Assign responsibility for each dependency.
Agree the test and its conditions
Define the route, load, operating conditions, expected outcomes and recovery steps before scheduling deployment.
Avoid unconditional deployment promises
The legacy article promotes minimal site modification and rapid deployment. Those statements do not establish a schedule or construction scope for an unassessed site.
