1. A brake system operating in conjunction with a user input and a user element, comprising:
a brake configured to selectively engage a friction material with a rotor; a brake input device configured to receive the user input; a sensor positioned at least one of on and proximate to the brake input device, wherein the sensor generates a signal when the user element is at least one of proximate to and touching the brake input device; and a brake control system coupled between the brake input device and the brake, and coupled with the sensor, wherein the brake control system:
receives the user input from the brake input device;controls the brake to engage the friction material with the rotor in response to the user input indicating the brake should engage the friction material with the rotor;determines a condition of imminent braking based on the sensor signal, wherein the condition of imminent braking comprises a condition in which:
the sensor signal indicates the user element is located at least one of proximate to and touching the brake input device; andthe user input indicates the brake should not engage the friction material with the rotor;controls the brake to enter a ready-to-engage state in response to the condition of imminent braking by the sensor signal, wherein the ready-to-engage state comprises:
the brake positioned such that the friction material is moved between a disengaged position in which the friction material is not in contact with the rotor and an engaged position in which the friction material is in contact with the rotor, andthe friction material is closer to the rotor in the ready-to-engage state than in the disengaged position; andcontrols the brake to position the friction material in the disengaged position only in response to the user input indicating the brake should not engage the friction material with the rotor and the sensor signal indicating the condition of imminent braking is absent. |
