Once the robot has stopped, the mechanical brakes are enabled. These brakes are used to
keep the robot in place once it has stopped. You can compare it with the parking brake or
hand brake in a car.
The mechanical brakes are only used to stop the robot when in motion in
emergency situations triggered by the safety system.
The mechanical brakes are automatically released again when the robot receives a new
order requiring it to move.
