Safety rules

The Jung JLA-e integration uses SICK safety lidar as the primary safety sensor when configured with the Karelics Brain stack. Operational safety also relies on Cloud-configured no-go zones and virtual walls.

SICK safety lidar

Per the Karelics–JUNG integration requirements (July 2024):

  • The platform supports two safety zones on the SICK lidar:
    • Slow zone — reduces speed when an obstacle enters the outer zone
    • Stop zone — triggers a stop when an obstacle enters the inner zone

Connect the SICK lidar to the on-robot NUC via Ethernet (not USB). See Technical specifications for the hardware layout.

Virtual constraints on the map

Through Karelics Cloud and Brain, operators can define:

  • No-go zones — areas the robot must not enter
  • Virtual walls — linear boundaries that constrain navigation

These complement the physical safety lidar zones for site-specific rules (e.g. edges, restricted storage areas).

General operational notes

  • Verify safety lidar health in Cloud health monitoring before autonomous missions.
  • Use manual control (PS4 controller or Cloud teleoperation) only when the site safety plan allows and trained operators are present.
  • Follow JUNG manufacturer instructions for load limits (5 t load / 12 t pull) and lift operation (50 mm stroke on lift variant).
