  • Publication number: 20210113914
    Abstract: A mobility device comprising a motorized shoe to be worn by a user to increase the speed of walking. The motorized shoe has a plurality of wheels, with at least one wheel driven by an electric motor through a geartrain. On onboard controller gathers data from at least one of an inertial measurement unit, an ultrasonic sensor, and a vision system to generate a command speed to the electric motor. A user wearing a pair of the mobility devices, one on each foot, is able to walk with a normal gait, but at an increased speed.

  • Patent number: 10933298
    Abstract: Disclosed is an anti-reverse rotation device of a power-driven shoe device, the power-driven shoe device comprising a shoe sole (1), wherein a group of front wheels (2) and a group of rear wheels (3) are arranged on a lower side surface of the shoe sole (1); and the front wheels (2) are connected to an anti-reverse rotation mechanism for preventing the front wheels (2) from rotating in reverse. The anti-reverse rotation mechanism can prevent the front wheels (2) from rotating in reverse, and as such, when the front wheels (2) are independently in contact with the ground and a certain included angle is formed between a shoe body and the ground, the situation of the front wheels (2) applying a certain pressure to the ground and the front wheels (2) rotating in reverse, such that a lifted foot moves backwards, thereby causing a person to fall down, is avoided, and walking safety is improved.
