  • Publication number: 20230201061
    Abstract: Certain aspects relate to systems and techniques for a mobile medical platform that includes a rigid base and one or more wheel assemblies coupled to a first side of the rigid base to support and move the rigid base in a physical environment. A respective wheel assembly of the one or more wheel assemblies includes a wheel, a first motor configured to steer the wheel, and a second motor configured to roll the wheel. The wheel is configured to respectively rotate around a first axis and a second axis that is different from the first axis. The first motor is positioned around a respective one of the first axis and the second axis, and the first axis is aligned with the second axis that results in a negligible caster angle of the wheel. A method of operating the mobile medical platform is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20190099893
    Abstract: The present invention includes a pair of boxing robots. Each robot includes at least one wheel and at least one arm controllable through a control system on the robot that is in communication with a user control unit. The control system has at least one axis of inertial sensing to support balancing of the robot. Preprogrammed algorithms are configured to include a balance algorithm to (a) maintain the robot upright during movement and actions, (b) maintain the robot upright upon sensing impact or force onto the robot, (c) cause the robot to fall prone upon sensing a strong impact or force (defined above a threshold) or sensing repeated impacts above a threshold number, and (d) create specified movement to mimic swagger, loss of energy, and additional wobble to imitate dazing. A set of preprogrammed instructions to (a) control wheels to move the robot, (b) control arms to mimic punching.
