Abstract: A vehicle for transporting a payload over a surface that may be irregular an d may include stairs. The vehicle has a support for supporting the payload and a ground contacting element movable with respect to a local axis, where the local axis can be moved with respect to some second axis that has a defined relation with respect to the support. The vehicle also has a motorized drive arrangement for permitting controllable motion of the ground contacting element so as to operate in an operating condition that is unstable with respect to tipping in at least a fore-aft plane when the motorized drive arrangement is not powered. The vehicle also has an input device for receivi ng an indication from an assistant who is not disposed on the vehicle of a direction of desired motion of the vehicle.

Abstract: A safety mechanism for a personal vehicle that provides for separation of the motion of a body support from a ground contacting assembly of the vehicle in case of accident. In one embodiment, the body support is attached to the ground contacting module via a slide mechanism that permits the body support to continue upright motion despite overturning of the ground contacting assembly in order to prevent injury to the passenger. Another embodiment provides for coupling of the body support or the ground contacting assembly via either a real or virtual pivot located above the respective centers of mass of the body support and ground contacting assembly.

Abstract: A controller for providing user input of a desired direction of motion or orientation for a transporter. The controller has an input for receiving specification by a user of a value based on a detected body orientation of the user. User- specified input may be conveyed by the user using any of a large variety of input modalities, including: ultrasonic body position sensing; foot force sensing; handlebar lean; active handlebar; mechanical sensing of body position; and linear slide directional input. An apparatus that may include an active handlebar is provided for prompting a rider to be positioned on a vehicle in such a manner as to reduce lateral instability due to lateral acceleration of the vehicle.

Abstract: Un controlador para un transportador que tiene al menos un elemento primario de contacto con el suelo, estando controlado el transportador mediante un ángulo de balanceo, caracterizado adicionalmente el controlador por~ a. una entrada para recibir la especificación por parte de un usuario de al menos uno de una guiñada deseada y un régimen de guiñada, estando basados la guiñada deseada y el régimen de guiñada en una orientación detectada del cuerpo del usuario; y b. un procesador para generar una señal de instrucción en base al menos a la guiñada y el régimen de guiñada especificados por el usuario junto con una señal de instrucción de cabeceo en base a un error de cabeceo de tal forma que se mantiene el equilibrio del transportador en el curso de conseguir la dirección y la guiñada especificadas.
