Abstract: A vehicle capable of an extraordinary mode of motorized motion programmed to draw the attention of an operator. When one or more sensors sense a condition requiring attention of the operator, a periodic acceleration is superposed upon the motion of the ground-contacting members. The extraordinary mode of locomotion may include a mode where the vehicle alternates between braking and speeding up and braking over each period of the modulation.

Abstract: A transporter for transporting a subject over a surface that may be irregular. The transporter includes a support platform for supporting a load, the loaded support platform defining fore-aft and lateral planes and characterized by a load distribution. A plurality of ground contacting elements are coupled to the support platform such that the transporter is statically stable with respect to tipping in the fore-aft plane. At least one of the plurality of ground contacting elements is driven by a motorized drive arrangement. A sensor module generates a signal indicative of the load distribution. Based at least on the load distribution, a controller commands the motorized drive arrangement.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for controlling a motorized balancing transporter that has two wheels in contact with the ground in normal operation. Upon detection of a fault condition, a control variable is adjusted at a specified increment in the direction of a goal value until the control variable equals the goal value. A user is afforded accelerated access to operation of the balancing transporter by first initializing a single-axis stabilizer, and, while intializing a 3-axis stabilizer, allowing operation of the transporter, and then completing initialization of the 3-axis stabilizer. Traction is maintained between wheels of a transporter and an underlying surface by comparing acceleration of a wheel with a specified pre-set value and incrementally reducing the torque applied to the wheel based on the existence of slip condition, with the slip condition cleared on the basis of a determined value of a dynamic characteristic of the wheel such as the inverse moment of inertia.

Abstract: A class of transportation vehicles for carrying an individual (10) over grou nd having a surface that may be irregular. Various embodiments have a motorized drive, mounted to the ground-contacting module (6) that causes operation of the vehicle in an operating position that is unstable with respect to tippin g when the motorized drive arrangement is not powered. Related methods are provided.

Abstract: A transportation vehicle for transporting an individual over ground having a surface that may be irregular. The vehicle has a support platform for supporting the subject and the support platform is coupled to a ground-contacting module at a pivot. While the ground-contacting module may be statically stable, balance of the support platform with respect to the ground-contacting module is maintained by motion of the ground-contacting module in response to leaning of the support platform. A motorized drive coupled to the ground-contacting module causes locomotion of the vehicle and the subject therewith over the surface, while a control loop, in which the motorized drive is included, dynamically enhances stability in the fore-aft plane by operation of the motorized drive in connection with the ground-contacting module. In the event of failure of the control loop, the pivot connection of the support platform to the ground-contacting module may be locked, thereby ensuring stability of the static assembly.

Abstract: A balancing vehicle that supports a rider on a support such as a seat in such a manner as to allow the position of the center of gravity of the vehicle to be varied by the motion of the support. Motion of the support additionally provides for control of a drive that propels the vehicle in a manner responsive to the position of the center of gravity. The vehicle is thus capable of control by leaning of a seated rider.
