Safety Instructions

1. Operation Area Control

  1. Robot Work Area: A safety fence that meets industrial standards should be installed around the robot's working area, covering its maximum reach.
  2. Restricted Area: During robot operation, no one should enter the robot’s reachable space to prevent accidental collisions.

2. Telerobotics Operation Safety

  1. Beginner Training: First-time users should familiarize themselves with the mapping between VR device movements and robot motions in a simulation environment.

  2. Smooth Operation: Move VR controllers slowly when practicing to avoid sudden or excessive movements.

  3. Equipment Check: Before each operation, check the battery levels of the VR headset and controllers. Ensure both have at least 20% battery. If below this threshold, charge or replace the batteries.

  4. Handling Visual Anomalies: If the headset display exhibits abnormalities (e.g., flickering, misalignment), immediately stop operation and recalibrate. Never continue operating if the display or controllers are shaking or drifting.

  5. Proper VR Controller Usage: Never randomly drop or swing the VR controllers during operation, as this may cause sudden loss or re-establishment of tracking, leading to unintended robot movements.

    Correct Operation Practices:

    • The VR headset must be properly worn, and the display should remain stable.
    • Hold the VR controllers with both hands and keep them within the headset’s tracking range at all times.
  6. Pre-Synchronization Calibration: Before starting telerobotic synchronization, press and hold the controller’s calibration button to calibrate the display.

  7. Stability During Synchronization: During synchronization, the operator must not move arbitrarily or recalibrate the display. If adjustments are needed, synchronization should be stopped first.

3. Safety Personnel Responsibilities & Emergency Response

  1. Emergency Preparedness: A designated safety officer should be present during telerobotic operations, ready to press the robot's emergency stop button at any time.
  2. No Collision Protection: The system does not provide collision feedback or protection mechanisms. Users must ensure that the robot does not collide with themselves or the environment unintentionally.

4. Disclaimer

These safety guidelines provide general guidance only. Users are responsible for ensuring their operating environment, personnel training, and safety measures comply with local laws and regulations. IO-AI shall not be held liable for any loss or injury resulting from a violation of these safety guidelines or improper operation. Users must independently assess and assume all associated risks.

This system must not be used in high-risk scenarios involving human safety. If the system is used in such applications, IO-AI assumes no liability.
