Scene Management

Scenes are part of the Expertise category and define the spatial and behavioral context where a robot operates, including map context and navigation structure. Through scene management, you can define a complete operational environment for your robots.

Scene List

On the robot’s Scenes page, you can see card views of all available scenes. Each card displays:

  • Scene name and map thumbnail
  • Route count and Zone count
  • Creation time

Click a scene card to open the scene editor.

Scene Editor

The scene editor provides visual map editing capabilities:

Map

The base of a scene is a map, usually from the robot’s SLAM mapping results. Supported map formats:

  • 2D Occupancy Grid Map (PGM/PNG)
  • 3D Point Cloud Map (PCD)

Routes

Define the robot’s navigation paths on the map:

  1. Click the map to place Waypoints
  2. The system automatically connects adjacent waypoints to generate a route
  3. You can set the orientation and dwell time for each waypoint
  4. Routes support both loop and one-way modes

Zones

Mark functional areas on the map:

Zone TypeDescription
Service ZoneAreas where the robot needs to execute tasks
Charging ZoneTarget areas for automatic recharging
Restricted ZoneAreas where the robot is not allowed to enter
Slow ZoneAreas where the speed needs to be reduced

Publish

After editing, click the Publish button to push the scene configuration to the robot side. The publish history includes version numbers and supports rollback.

Scene Assignment

Scenes are currently managed per robot. In the scene list, you can view the active scenes associated with the current robot.
