Stop bot if lost

When a bot gets completely lost and has a mission distance that exceeds a certain threshold the bot should stop, flash a new colour and indicate on the ipad that the bot is lost (cannot localize).

Problem/opportunity trying to be solved

When a bot gets completely lost there is currently nothing which determines that that bot is lost until it starts to spin at a single point

Quantify the problem/opportunity

DHL Greven within the last 30 mins 4 bots have got lost due to the amount of traffic at the site.

What is the root cause of the problem/opportunity

There is a limited number of LP's on the site due to the size of the bay support beams and the traffic from other functions on site is very high.

    Instances where we do this today. Challenging to do this while a bot is moving. May strand robots which would have found a resolution if left alone.

    Improvements in process to reduce instances of robots getting lost.
