2. MAIN PAGE
On the main page, you can quickly check the robot’s operational status by referring to the color of the banner around the robot’s serial number (for example, grey in IMAGE 2).
-
GREY - The robot is offline
-
BLUE - The robot is powered on but not currently running an autonomous operation
-
RED - The robot has been stopped due to an alarm or event that requires manual reset
-
GREEN - The robot is actively performing an autonomous task, such as seeding or weeding
On the field view, lines in different colors indicate specific areas:
-
Orange outlines the field boundary
-
Purple marks the headlands
-
Blue represents the passes
In IMAGE 2, dashed lines indicate areas where the robot has not yet operated, while solid lines show completed operations.
By selecting "Live mode," you can monitor real-time data and start or stop the robot by toggling the "Droid is Off/On" button.
Please ensure that any alarms or notification messages have been reset on the robot before attempting to start it remotely (for example, the "Field completed" notification must be cleared manually from the robot's HMI).
In IMAGE 3, you can use the sprocket icon in the lower right corner of the field view to toggle display of pass and headland numbers, and switch the map background between white and satellite view.
In IMAGE 4, scrolling down reveals key operational details for the robot, including hitch percentage, battery voltage, and estimated time to completion.
