👉 Stopping engineering is a critical discipline within the field of control systems and robotics that focuses on designing and implementing effective stopping mechanisms for moving robots or automated systems. It involves the development of algorithms, sensors, and actuators that ensure precise and safe deceleration or halting of a robot's motion when it encounters an obstacle, reaches a target, or needs to come to a stop due to safety protocols. This engineering encompasses various strategies such as regenerative braking, friction-based stops, magnetic brakes, and advanced control techniques like model predictive control or adaptive stopping algorithms. The primary goal is to minimize the risk of collisions, ensure smooth transitions from motion to rest, and maintain operational safety while adhering to the physical constraints of the robot's design.
