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 the mechanical brakes with
the parking brake or hand brake in a car.

The mechanical brakes are only used to stop the robot when it is 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.
