### Starting up
|
|
|
|
The silver button at the top of the Status Panel is used to power the Husky on and off. From the "off" state, pressing the button will cause the Husky to power on and a blue ring at the edge of the button will be illuminated. From the "on" state, pressing the button will cause the Husky to power off and the blue ring will no longer be illuminated.

### Orientation reference
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The reference frame used by all Clearpath Robotics ground robots is based on ISO 8855, and is shown in the figure below. Husky's front is shown. When commanded with a positive translational velocity (forward), wheels travel in the positive X-direction. The direction of the axes differs from those used for roll, pitch, and yaw in aircraft, and care should be taken to ensure that data is interpreted correctly.

The motion-stop function allows a person in the physical vicinity of the robot to halt its motion and prevent re-initiation of motion. Power supply to Husky's motor drivers is enabled by a normally-open relay, which is closed in series with the stop switch. This motion-stop system is intended for use in emergency situations. The motion stop system should not be used as the means of controlling robot motion during regular operation.
