  • Publication number: 20220063619
    Abstract: In a stand-up vehicle having a vehicle upper part having a riding surface configured for a user to stand on, one or more electronic control units execute emergency situation detection processing for detecting an emergency of the user when receiving notification from the user or based on information from one or more sensors, safety posture determination processing for determining whether or not the user takes a safety posture based on information from one or more sensors after detecting the emergency, and upper limit speed management processing executed when detecting the emergency and determining that the user takes the safety posture. The upper limit speed management process increases the upper limit speed to be higher than the basic upper limit speed selected when the safety posture determination process determines that the user is not in the safety posture, or cancels the upper limit speed.

  • Publication number: 20220055661
    Abstract: The safety management apparatus comprises a protective shield with automatic opening and closing, a sensor configured to obtain physical information related to an occupant boarded an autonomous traveling cart, and a controller configured to control the opening and closing of the protective shield. The protective shield is configured to be normally open and, when closed, shield an occupant space of the cart from the outside. The controller includes at least one memory including at least one program, and at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory. The at least one processor executes a first process and a second process upon execution of the at least one program. The first process is to determine whether the occupant is an infant based on the physical information. The second process, which is executed when the occupant is determined to be an infant, is to close the protective shield.

  • Publication number: 20210114430
    Abstract: A traveling body is equipped with a traveling portion provided on a lower side of a main body portion. The traveling portion has middle wheels that are spaced apart from a rising axis extending in a width direction by a fixed distance, front links that space front wheels and the rising axis apart from each other respectively by a fixed distance, rear links that space rear wheels and the rising axis apart from each other respectively by a fixed distance, and a fixed frame that rises/falls as the rising axis rises/falls and that supports the main body portion. The front links and the rear links are coupled in such a manner as to be able to rock with respect to each other respectively around the rising axis. A controller lifts the main body portion and the middle wheels by rocking the front links and the rear links each other.
