Zusammenfassung:A method of controlling light emitters of a mobile automation apparatus includes: controlling a depth sensor to capture a plurality of depth measurements corresponding to an area containing a support structure; obtaining a support structure plane definition; selecting a subset of the depth measurements; determining, based on the subset of depth measurements and the support structure plane, whether the subset of the depth measurements indicates the presence of a sensitive receptor; when the determination is affirmative, disabling the light emitters; and when the determination is negative, controlling (i) the light emitters to illuminate the support structure and (ii) a camera to capture an image of the support structure simultaneously with the illumination.
