  • Patent number: 11733702
    Abstract: An unmanned following vehicle includes a controller that controls the unmanned following vehicle to move in parallel with a moving object by following the moving object on a left side or a right side of the moving object. For example, the controller adjusts a moving speed of the unmanned following vehicle according to a Y-axis coordinate difference value, which is a difference value between a position of the moving object and a position of the unmanned following vehicle in a forward direction. The controller also adjusts a steering direction and a steering angle of the unmanned following vehicle according to an X-axis coordinate difference value, which is a difference value between the position of the moving object and the position of the unmanned following vehicle in a lateral direction.

  • Patent number: 11015687
    Abstract: A linear actuator having a free fall function. The linear actuator moves a piston-rod member back and forth using torque of a rotary motor. Here, the piston-rod member is disposed within a portion of a cylinder body to be movable back and forth. In the event of jamming in which the piston-rod member is stopped due to sticking between an operating nut and a screw member, the piston-rod member is caused to freely fall in a direction in which load is applied. This can consequently obtain the maximum stretched length of the piston-rod member, thereby providing safety in an emergency.
