Abstract: For example, a safety-based multi-actuator driver may be configured to drive a plurality of actuators of a plurality of wheels of a mobile robot. For example, the safety-based multi-actuator driver may include one or more safety-sensor inputs to receive safety-sensor information from one or more safety sensors of the mobile robot; a plurality of driver outputs to provide a plurality of actuator-drive outputs to drive the plurality of actuators; and a plurality of monitoring inputs to receive actuator monitoring information corresponding to a functionality of the plurality of actuators.

Abstract: For example, a controller of a mobile robot may be configured to generate a plurality of control outputs to control a plurality of actuators of a plurality of wheels of the mobile robot. For example, the controller may configure the plurality of control outputs to control deceleration of the mobile robot while maintaining a controlled trajectory of the mobile robot during a controlled safety stop. For example, during the controlled safety stop the controller may monitor rotational velocities of the plurality of wheels; and configure a first control output of the plurality of control outputs to control an actuator of a first wheel of the plurality of wheels based on a rotational velocity of the first wheel, a rotational velocity of a second wheel of the plurality of wheels, and a radius of the controlled trajectory.
