In addition to what @ACTISA said, you can also stop the robot whenever ROS is shutting down. Have a look at [this post](https://get-help.robotigniteacademy.com/t/how-to-stop-your-robot-when-ros-is-shutting-down/225) for how to do that.

In general, to stop a robot in your code you just need to create a publisher to the applicable “velocity” topic and publish a stop message as required in your code.
