Publication number: 20220341906Abstract: A method includes receiving data collected by at least one sensor on a robotic device, wherein the data is to be used for an ambient environment state representation, and wherein the data represents ambient environment measurements collected at locations of the at least one sensor when the robotic device is passively monitoring an environment such that robotic device navigation is not based on the ambient environment state representation. The method further includes determining the ambient environment state representation using the data collected by the at least one sensor on the robotic device. The method also includes identifying, based on the ambient environment state representation, one or more anomalous ambient environment measurements. The method additionally includes causing, based on the one or more identified anomalous ambient environment measurements, the robotic device to actively monitor the environment such that robotic device navigation is based on the ambient environment state representation.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2021Publication date: October 27, 2022Inventors: Daniel Lam, Justine Rembisz, Asa Weiss, Benjamin Holson

Patent number: 11266900Abstract: Methods and apparatus are discussed for an electric powered personal transportation vehicle with electric motors powered by one or more batteries. A set of universal battery mounting hole locations and a reserved space for one or more battery housings exist on a board for the personal transportation vehicle. The reserved space on the board for the one or more battery housings that house one or more battery packs is set to not interfere with an operation of the motors or the wheels. A first battery pack containing the one or more batteries differs in at least one of i) a different amp-hour capacity, ii) a different length, width, or height, and iii) a different shape than another battery pack designed to be physically contained in the one or more battery housings and electrically connect with corresponding electrical connections in the one or more battery housings.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2018Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Assignee: Neutron Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Jukka Rautiainen, Mark Frykman, Asa Weiss, Mike McHugh, John Ulmen

Patent number: 11027187Abstract: A personal transport system is provided including, in an embodiment, an electrically powered vehicle, a companion remote control, and a companion mobile phone application. The vehicle includes an operator-supporting deck, one or more deck-mounted trucks, one or more axle-mounted wheels on each of the one or more trucks, one or more batteries, and a deck lighting system. The one or more batteries power a motor configured to drive the wheels by way of a pulley system, at least one battery of which is disposed under a battery enclosure. The battery enclosure has a first light indicator system, and the companion remote control has a second light indicator system, each of which is configured for communicating with the operator. The deck lighting system includes a light strip of light-emitting diodes disposed in a groove of the deck configured to change state to communicate with the operator or others sharing a road.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2019Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: NEUTRON HOLDINGS, INC.Inventors: Jukka Rautiainen, Levi Jacob Price, Oliver Riihiluoma, Asa Weiss, Angus Peart, Barrett Heyneman, Shelby Noonan, Chris Rieger, John Ulmen
