Light indicators and speaker
Warning sounds and indicator lights must be adjusted to the site during commissioning—see Commissioning
The robot uses its speaker and light indicators to communicate its status and intentions:
- Status lights - The status light LED bands on the sides and front of the robot use colors and light motion patterns to signal the current status of the robot.
- Signal lights - The signal lights at the sides of the robot show if the robot is about to turn a corner or go backward. Right and left turns are indicated by blinking.
- Blue light - The blue light projects blue light 420 cm in front of the robot when it is driving forward in Automatic mode to alert personnel that the robot is approaching.
- Safety buzzer - The safety buzzer plays sounds to alert personnel whenever the Protective fields are muted and prior to the robot initiating movement after a standstill.
- Speaker - You can trigger sounds using zones and mission actions. When you press the horn on the tiller handle, the robot plays the sound you have set in the robot interface—see Operating the tiller.

Status lights
The LED light bands around the robot indicate its operational state:
Emergency stop or Protective stop
Ready for job
Drives to destination
Goal/Path blocked
Planning path
Mission paused
Startup signal before PC is active
Shutting down robot
Relative move, ignoring obstacles
General error
Manual drive
Mapping
Charging at charging station
Waiting for MiR Fleet resource or for another MiR robot to move
When the robot's battery percentage is critically low (0-1%), the ends of the status lights flash red.
Signal lights
The signal lights indicate the following robot behavior:
When the robot turns, the signal lights on the side the robot is turning to flash white.
When the Protective fields are muted, all signal lights flash. This is accompanied by auditory warning sounds.
When the robot is at standstill for longer than 10 seconds the signal lights turn off.
When the robot begins moving after being at standstill, the signal lights turn on 2 seconds before the robot moves. This is accompanied by auditory warning sounds.
WARNING
If the robot starts up unexpectedly, there is a risk of injury to nearby personnel or damage to equipment.
Train personnel in the meaning of the signal and status lights.
Inform personnel that robot flashes its signal lights and emits warning sounds before is starts moving after being at standstill for longer than 10 seconds.
Sounds
In Setup > Sounds, you can upload new sounds to the robot or edit the volume and length of the default sounds. Sounds can be used in missions and zones to alert or to attract people's attention. You can activate a sound manually using the horn—see Operating the tiller.
The robot plays sounds automatically for safety reasons when:
- The robot mutes its Protective fields.
- The robot begins moving after being at standstill for longer than 10 seconds.
WARNING
Unaware personnel may not see the robot and risk colliding with the robot. This may result in injury to personnel or damage to equipment.
- Adjust warning sound volume to be audible in the work environment
- Implement warning sounds in high-risk areas and missions
- Do not disable warning sounds.
