Classifying the Robot Calibration Operations

Calibrating the robot is a process that non-staff should not be allowed to attempt.

The operation does require some safety precautions, because it moves a fast robot arm with a wide range of motion. Therefore, it would be unwise to attempt this operation from a remote location if the hutch door is open.

However, staff members will need the capability to work with the robot within the hutch, and are familiar with the robot's range of motion and speed.

The device is given 'Inside Open Hutch' permissions for 'staff' and no permissions for 'scientists' as shown in Table 11.

Table 12 shows the capabilities that a user has while issuing commands to the robot.
