  • Patent number: 11969888
    Abstract: Cable routing approaches are described that allow cables to pass through a traditional chain joint without reducing the strength capacity or impairing the range of motion of the joint. The cable routing approaches permit the cables to be housed inside the structure of the robotic arm and pass through the chain joint in a manner that does not limit the width of the chain.

  • Publication number: 20240134393
    Abstract: A system and method for a motorized mobile chair use a plurality of sensors having a plurality of sensor types to detect a plurality of objects and generate sensor data about the detected objects, each of the detected objects being a person, the sensor data about the objects comprising a plurality of range measurements to the people and a plurality of bearing measurements to the people. The system has at least one processor to receive the sensor data about the people, group the detected people into a plurality of zones, determine a closest person in each zone, and generate one or more control signals to cause the motorized mobile chair to match a speed and a direction of the closest person in the zone corresponding to a direction of travel of the motorized mobile chair while at least approximately maintaining a selected space to the closest person in the zone corresponding to the direction of travel of the motorized mobile chair.

  • Patent number: 11334070
    Abstract: A processing system for a motorized mobile system includes at least one sensor to measure one or more kinematic states of an object and at least one processor to use at least one state estimation filter and at least one object kinematic model to predict a first kinematic state estimate of the object and output the first predicted kinematic state estimate for use by at least one other process of the motorized mobile system. The processor uses the first predicted kinematic state estimate and the one or more measured kinematic states to determine a second kinematic state estimate of the object and uses the second kinematic state estimate as an input to the state estimation filter to predict another kinematic state estimate of the object.

  • Publication number: 20220001191
    Abstract: It is well understood in the medical industry that medical disorders can manifest as serious problems for the affected subjects, their families, and society. Today, psychiatrists, neurologists and other physicians treat these disorders with a variety of medications, many of which have significant negative side effects. The teachings provided herein are directed to a novel system and methods for treating certain neurological, psychological, psychiatric and medical disorders by delivering a “magnetic stimulation” to a subject's neural and perineural system using either a static or electromagnetic field to generate a modulated variable power multi-spectral magnetic stimulation on three axis; the modulated stimulation using methods that have predictable, controlled, modifiable, and repeatable characteristics.

  • Patent number: 11154442
    Abstract: A motorized mobile system includes a human machine interface (HMI) to provide control instructions to the system. A controller in the system receives the control instructions and generates a control signal, wherein the generated control signal causes one or more components of the motorized mobile system to respond. One or more sensors generate health data related to a user, wherein the health data is stored in a secure memory connected to the controller, and wherein the stored user health data is used to bias the control signal for the motorized mobile system.
