LOW POWER FAIL-SAFE BRAKING FOR AUTONOMOUS MOBILE ROBOTS
DRIVE
January 15, 2026
According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, mechanical low power fail-safe brake designed for Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) is described herein. The primary function of this brake is to provide braking and position-holding capabilities for the robot in the event of a power failure or power-off condition. The present disclosure provides the brake system to significantly reduce power consumption, while maintaining comparable torque output. The lower power consumption of this brake contributes to enhanced energy efficiency and extended operational capabilities for AMRs, allowing them to conserve power resources and perform tasks reliably in challenging environments.
