Figure 2.6. The manual brake release switch is located below the control panel.
The mechanical brakes require electrical power to be released, so if the robot is without
power, the mechanical brakes cannot be released.
If MiR250 shuts down due to low battery percentage, there is still enough
power to release the brakes for approximately a week after.
When driving in Autonomous mode, the robot engages and releases the mechanical brakes
automatically.
The robot cannot operate while the mechanical brakes are released manually.
Operating modes
MiR250 has two operating modes: Manual mode and Autonomous mode.
Manual mode
In this mode, you can drive the robot manually using the joystick in the robot interface. Only
one person can control the robot manually at a time. To ensure that nobody else takes
control of the robot, the robot issues a token to the device on which you activate the Manual
mode.
