Description of Cargo Exclusion Area

  • The depreciation area for versions 3.2 and 3.3.17

When the AGV forklift picks up goods, it may block part of the laser. To prevent collision detection from triggering mistakenly, a deduction area should be used to remove this part of the laser.

The definition of the deduction area is shown in Figure 11.4.1 and Figure 11.4.2.

  • Only when the forklift is greater than the S_Fork_Block_Height (changed in version 3.3) ForkBlockHeight, the deduction area takes effect.
  • If the fork height is lower than the S_Fork_Block_Height (ForkBlockHeight), the deduction area is invalid.
  • If the load is too deep and high, reduce the value of S_Fork_Block_Height (ForkBlockHeight).
  • The four parameters of the deduction area are configured under the forklift tab of the parameter configuration in Roboshop.

If the ForkBlockHeight is set to 1 for cattle, the deduction area will be enabled when loading goods. If the value is less than 1, the deduction area will be disabled.



Table 11.4.1: The deduction area is defined under the Roboshop parameter Configuration, forklift tab.

Parameter Name 3.3 Version Name Parameter Default Value Parameter Meaning
S_Fork_Block_Height ForkBlockHeight 1.5m Deduct the effective fork height (m)
S_Fork_Block_Width ForkBlockWidth 1 m Subtract the width of the region (m)
S_Fork_Block_Xmax ForkBlockXmax 0.6 Subtract the Xmax (m) of the region
S_Fork_Block_Xmin ForkBlockXmin 0.5 Subtract the Xmin (m) of the region

For instance:

  1. If the forklift is going to be used, report if the virtual or real laser is blocked.

Define the laser protection area of the robot model to only include the front part of the forklift, as shown in Figure 1.

  1. If the forklift is loaded, but the walking time is blocked by a laser

Under the forklift label, the following values can be used in Roboshp to measure the area where the cargo laser points are located, so that the deduction area includes all laser points: S_Fork_Block_Height (ForkBlockHeight), S_Fork_Block_Width (ForkBlockWidth), s_fork_block_height, s_fork_block_width, S_Fork_Block_Xmax (ForkBlockXmax), and S_Fork_Block_Xmin (ForkBlockXmin). The definitions of S_Fork_Block_Width (ForkBlockWidth), S_Fork_Block_Xmax (ForkBlockXmax), and S_Fork_Block_Xmin (ForkBlockXmin) are shown in Figure 2 and 3.

  • Version 3.3.17 or later

When the AGV forklift raises the fork, the forklift's shelf will obstruct a portion of the laser, as depicted in Figure 4. To avoid triggering collision detection erroneously, it is necessary to exclude this portion of the laser using a deduction area. The definition of the deduction area is illustrated in Figure 5. The deduction area is only active when the forklift's height exceeds the enableHeight. If the forklift's height is lower than the enableHeight, the deduction field is not applicable.

If the forklift needs to lift goods using forks and the cargo lifting may obstruct the laser, then it is necessary to load the cargo onto a pallet, as shown in Figure 6. The dimensions of the goods are defined by the pallet_width and pallet_length parameters. The block_laser parameter indicates whether the laser will be partially obstructed. Additionally, the location of the goods on the fork is determined by the contactDIXpos parameter in the model file, which generally has the same value as xmin in Figure 6.
