WARNING!
Failure to follow these instructions may result in SERIOUS INJURY, INCLUDING
DEATH.
•IMPACT HAZARD! Always maintain a safe distance from a robot in
operation. Be aware of the Emergency Stop button locations.
Be aware that an OTTO AMR can be anywhere in the operating area of the facility at any time, and may
pose a tripping hazard even when not in motion.
Personnel need to be aware of operation limitations, such as floor grades, negative and overhanging
obstacles, and the OTTO AMR LiDAR obstacle detection plane.
The floor of the operating area should be kept free of dirt and debris.
Personnel need to be aware of OTTO AMR docking and charging areas, where detection fields are
reduced.
See the Product Safety section of the operations and maintenance manual for the applicable
OTTO AMR.
Personnel should be aware of facility areas where OTTO AMRs travel through narrow aisles/corridors
resulting in reduced clearance between OTTO AMRs and personnel and aisles/corridors shared
between OTTO AMRs, other vehicles, and personnel.
See the Product Safety section of the operations and maintenance manual for the applicable
OTTO AMR.
Personnel should be aware that OTTO AMR LiDAR safety scanners use a class 1 laser and high intensity
LED.
Personnel should keep all loose clothing and body parts away from OTTO AMRs, accessories,
attachments, and payloads, while they are in autonomous operation. Using an Emergency Stop button is
the only acceptable manner of interacting with an OTTO AMR or attachment while it is being operated
autonomously.
In addition to the preceding basic items for all workers and visitors, the following should be considered for
facility personnel, including drivers of other vehicles:
High traffic areas, tight clearance areas, emergency exits, areas around electrical panels or in front of
shelves and racking, and obstacles that are outside the field of view of safety sensors (i.e. overhanging
obstacles) should have bollards placed around them so that OTTO AMRs do not drive or stop in those
areas
When required to move a product manually, personnel must ensure it is in an Emergency Stop state (in
the case of an OTTO AMR) or shut down completely and should not push manually for prolonged
periods.

See the Basic Usage section of the operations and maintenance manual for the applicable
product.
Operators of other industrial vehicles must not leave skids or other loads overhanging or unstable near
the edges of racking as they may not be detected by an OTTO AMR.
Alert personnel that while operating an OTTO AMR outside of the Autonomy State, they are solely
responsible for obstacle and collision avoidance.
Maintenance not outlined in the operations and maintenance manual can only be performed by OTTO
Motors Authorized Personnel.
1.5 Facility Conditions
WARNING!
Failure to follow these instructions may result in SERIOUS INJURY, INCLUDING DEATH.
•IMPACT HAZARD! Never bypass the drive wheels of the robot while on a sloped surface.
•CRUSH or IMPACT HAZARD! Keep low profile objects that the LiDAR cannot detect, such
as forklift tines and pallets, outside of the outside of the robot's path.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these instructions may result in MINOR or MODERATE INJURY or DAMAGE to the
system and/or property.
•CRUSH or IMPACT HAZARD! Robots must be prevented from traveling in areas that do not
follow Facility Conditions specifications, such as ramps and stairwells.
OTTO AMRs, attachments, and accessories are designed to work on flat and clean surfaces. Facility conditions
greatly affect their ability to operate safely and navigate properly.
•Facility floors must be dry and clean with a coefficient of friction greater than 0.4 to better assist OTTO
AMRs in achieving safe stopping distances. Debris on the floors may become caught in casters and lead
to premature failure of wheels, casters, or drive components. Areas with floors that can't meet these
requirements should be isolated by bollards or physical LiDAR-height barriers. Exclusion Zones in Fleet
Manager cannot be solely relied upon to prevent entry to areas with floors that don't meet OTTO AMR
requirements.
•OTTO AMRs should never be driven onto curbs or across gaps in the floor that may result in damage to
the robot drive systems, attachments, or accessories - for example, at the top of stairs, the top of dock
doors, or mezzanines without a protective ledge. Areas matching these descriptions should be isolated
by bollards or physical LiDAR-height barriers.
•OTTO AMRs are designed to operate indoors free of direct sunlight. Infrared light sources (including

reproduced or further disclosed without the express written approval of Clearpath Robotics Inc.
sunlight, light curtains, welding) may interfere with the operation of OTTO AMRs when shone directly
into the robot's optical sensors.
•OTTO AMRs rely on LiDAR to protect personnel from crushing or collision hazards. Although rare, very
reflective or very light absorbent (eg. black) material can impede the LiDAR safety systems. Avoid the
use of such materials in clothing or obstacles to assist their detection by OTTO AMR LiDAR safety
systems.
•Areas in front of or behind chargers or other docking areas (eg. P&D stands) should be marked for
personnel to avoid the space.
•OTTO AMR drive wheels and cart brakes should never be manually bypassed on a ramp condition as
this may lead to robots or carts navigating erratically and losing control. If stopped on a slope greater
than 1° (1.6 % grade), robots and carts will begin to roll and may present a hazard.
1.6 Payload Maximums
WARNING!
Failure to follow these instructions may result in SERIOUS INJURY, INCLUDING DEATH.
•IMPACT HAZARD! Never bypass the drive wheels of the robot while on a sloped surface.
OTTO Motors products support a specific maximum payload. OTTO AMR maximum payloads change when an
attachment or accessory is connected because of the weight of the attachment/accessory itself. In the case of an
attachment/accessory-equipped OTTO AMR, payloads should not exceed the maximum payload documented
on the Attachment Nameplate.
1.6.1 OTTO 100 AMR
For the default configuration for the OTTO 100 AMR, the payload must lie within the projected view of the
OTTO 100 AMR body and not project over the front, rear, or sides of the robot. The payload must be smaller
than 740 mm x 550 mm and no higher than 1700 mm. The Center of Mass of the payload must lie within the
constraints dictated by ICD-000079 and not exceed a mass of 150 kg.
Where the payload is carried on a Staging Cart, the payload must lie within the projected view of the Staging
Cart and be smaller than 912 mm x 803 mm and no higher than 1500 mm. It may not project beyond the
boundaries of the cart footprint. The allowable position of the Center of Mass of the payload is dictated by ICD-
000073 and must not exceed a mass of 130 kg.
The OTTO 100 AMR requires a custom vehicle configuration in order to accommodate payloads that project
beyond the dimensions of the base OTTO 100 AMR platform or Staging Cart. Please contact OTTO Motors if a
custom vehicle configuration is required.

names of their respective companies. The information contained in these documents is the Confidential and/or Proprietary property of Clearpath Robotics Inc. and may not be duplicated,
reproduced or further disclosed without the express written approval of Clearpath Robotics Inc.
1.6.2 OTTO 1500 AMR
The OTTO 1500 platform is rated to work with a maximum payload of 1500 kg - this maximum payload changes
when an attachment is connected to the robot because of the weight of the attachment itself. In this case, the
OTTO 1500 AMR should only be loaded with the maximum payload documented on the attachment nameplate.
Failure to load the OTTO 1500 AMR within the payload specifications will affect the safe operation of the robot.
1.7 Battery Handling
WARNING!
Failure to follow these instructions may result in SERIOUS INJURY, INCLUDING DEATH.
•FIRE HAZARD! If the battery is damaged or a battery fire occurs, contact local emergency
services and vacate the area. Do not use water to douse the fire.
•SHOCK HAZARD! Improper use or maintenance of robot batteries may result in a high
energy discharge.
Like most applications using batteries with Lithium technology, special precautions should be taken to handle
this type of material. Battery packs should only be handled by trained personnel to ensure proper handling. Be
aware of the operating environments for OTTO AMRs and more specifically, the battery pack.
1.8 Overhang and Underhang Detection
WARNING!
Failure to follow these instructions may result in SERIOUS INJURY, INCLUDING DEATH.
•CRUSH or IMPACT HAZARD! Keep low profile objects that the LiDAR cannot detect, such
as forklift tines and pallets, outside of the outside of the robot's path.
•IMPACT HAZARD! Do not place anything on the robot that extends beyond its footprint.
Refer to the robot Safety Configuration document for the footprint dimensions.
Existing equipment in your facility could be rendered invisible to an OTTO AMR due to configuration of an
"overhang" - for example, a vehicle with wheels offset from the body of the vehicle itself. OTTO AMRs use
LiDAR to detect potential obstacles and obstacles located above an OTTO AMR's LiDAR detection plane may
not be perceived by an OTTO AMR. In this example, the OTTO AMR would detect the existing equipment's
wheels but not its body panels, increasing the possibility of a collision.
We encourage installation of perception-assist flaps (see the following) to assist OTTO AMRs without 3D
perception capabilities in detecting obstacles - especially in cases of potential mobile obstacles.

Figure 1 Perception-Assist Flap Installation
OTTO AMRs capable of 3D perception - either integrated or through use of an equipped 3D Perception
Attachment - are better able to detect overhanging obstacles without the presence of perception-assist flaps.
•Ideally, installed flaps should touch the floor; however, in instances where the flap can't be installed that
close to the floor, the distance between the flap's bottom edge and the floor should not exceed 75 mm.
•Opaque materials with a matte finish are best as reflective materials can scatter LiDAR pulses. Rubber works
especially well due to its flexibility, color, and durability.
•Flaps can be bolted directly to exterior body panels or secured using high-strength magnets.
