[SP] Emergency deceleration using motors

datahaki opened this issue · comments

Background

In the current implementation, the emergency stop manoeuvre uses the brake only. During the emergency phase, the torque to the motors is set to zero.

Task description

  • create a logic that applies suitable torque to the motors in order to decelerate the gokart in an emergency situation
  • prove stability of the controller in theory and experimentation

Purpose

The linmot device that pushes brake has frequently failed to operate long-term. Therefore, a redundant emergency stop is desirable.
