  • Publication number: 20130101002
    Abstract: Devices communicate with one another over a wireless channel according to a signal strength of a signal transmitted over the wireless channel. Digital data captured at a source is transmitted over the wireless channel at a first quality if the signal strength or latency is above a threshold and at a second quality if the signal strength or latency is below the threshold. In addition, noise can be inserted into the transmitted digital data as a way to alert the recipient of the signal of signal strength degradation at a finer granularity.

  • Patent number: 8397842
    Abstract: A method of using a robotic vehicle system is described. The method can include delivering a force through a robotic vehicle system powertrain in the robotic vehicle system. The force delivery can include generating a force with a force generation component in the robotic vehicle system. The force delivery can also include delivering the force through a first shaft to a first receiver and delivering the force from the first receiver to a second receiver. The first shaft can interface with the first receiver.
