Can’t Detect Charger/Docking Issues

Product catalog summary

Introduction
This document addresses issues related to the detection and docking of chargers by robots. It provides a step-by-step guide to troubleshoot and resolve these issues.

Specifications and Procedures
1. Ensure there is at least 1 meter of space between the charger and the charging node.
2. Access the GMS (Global Management System) and navigate to map editing.
3. Select the current working map and edit it to check the alignment and distance between the charger and charging node.
4. If the nodes are aligned on the X-axis, ensure there is sufficient distance (at least 1 meter) between them.
5. If issues persist, continue to adjust the charging node's position until the robot can detect the charger and align itself properly.
6. Save the changes to the map.
7. Return to map editing, select Information Synchronization, and apply the changes to the current working map.
8. Choose Immediate Effect and apply the changes.
9. Test the new node placement to ensure the robot can recognize and dock into the charger.
