Conveyor assembly and method of using the same

A conveyor assembly configured for transporting an object along a transportation path, the conveyor assembly comprising:

• a plurality of rollers configured to facilitate transportation of the object disposed on a conveyor surface through a conveyor zone, wherein the plurality of rollers comprises:
• a first drive roller selectively operable to rotate in a first rotational direction to cause a movement of the conveyor surface in a conveyance direction to move the object along the transportation path defined within the conveyor zone;
• and
• a second roller configured to be selectively rotated in a second rotational direction opposite the first rotational direction in order to generate a counterforce that opposes the movement of the conveyor surface in the conveyance direction;
• and
• a controller configured to generate one or more control signals configured to control the first drive roller and a secondary motor operable to drive rotation of the second roller in the second rotational direction;
• wherein the conveyor assembly is configured to execute a stopping operation by stopping a first rotation of the first drive roller and initiating a second rotation of the second roller in the second rotational direction at substantially same time to stop the movement of the conveyor surface such that the object disposed thereon is stopped at a stop position defined within the conveyor zone.
