  • Patent number: 10705538
    Abstract: An auto guided vehicle system adapting for carrying an object is provided. The auto guided vehicle system includes a plurality of auto guided vehicles. Each of the auto guided vehicles has a vehicle body and an omnidirectional wheel set, and further includes a driving device, a wireless communication module, and a processing device. The driving device drives the omnidirectional wheel set. The wireless communication module communicates with a control module of an electric device. The processing device transmits a position information to the control module through the wireless communication module. The control module determines an arrangement pattern of the auto guided vehicles on a movement plane according to an object information and the respective position information of the auto guided vehicles, such that the auto guided vehicles carry and transport the object in the arrangement pattern. Besides, an operating method is also provided.

  • Patent number: 9715234
    Abstract: A multiple rotors aircraft and a control method thereof are provided. The control method comprises the following steps. First, current motion information of the multiple rotors aircraft is obtained. Then, at least one control gain is adjusted through a gain adjustment function according to the current motion information. The gain adjustment function conforms to a non-Lipschitzian characteristic, and at least one rotor of the multiple rotors aircraft is controlled according to the control gain. Therefore, the multiple rotors aircraft would be ensured that its flight attitude is toward a target position, and the expected result would be conformed rapidly.

  • Publication number: 20170154476
    Abstract: An information backing up method and system are provided. The information backing up system at least includes a moving vehicle and a server. The moving vehicle obtains its external information and internal information, establishes a transmitting connection with the server through a machine-to-machine (M2M) protocol, and transmits the external information and the internal information to the server through the transmitting connection. In addition, the information backing up system may further include a network gateway device, so that the moving vehicle can perform an information backup procedure through the network gateway device.
