Title:
FAIL-SAFE BRAKE FOR MULTIPLEX WHEEL VEHICLE WITH STEERING CONTROLLED BY MOTOR
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS62216009
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A braking system for a controllable mobile robot with a plurality of wheels which carry the robot to a specified position in response to commands from a guidance system. The braking system is used in conjunction with servo motors that are used for steering the mobile apparatus and includes a capacitor 391 which stores power during non-braking conditions. During braking, a relay, with contacts 393, 403, 401, and 397, transfers power from the capacitor to the servo motors 64 that are used to steer the robot and is connected in such a manner as to uncoordinate the steering wheels and to cause them to turn in a direction that opposes the forward motion of the robot.
