The Shelf mode interface is a signal specifically used when MiRShelfLift is mounted to the
robot. The signal activates when the robot is carrying a shelf, triggering the robot to change
to the shelf specific Protective field sets and use the laser scanners to check that the four
shelf legs are detected around the robot, ensuring that the robot has successfully picked up
the shelf.
Pin 12 in the Auxiliary safety function interface is used for the Shelf mode function.
