  • Automatic wheelchair lock, lock plates, hub connector, magnetic persistent driver, and rotation mechanism, and systems and method using the same
    Patent number: 10568789
    Abstract: An automatic wheelchair locking system comprising: a first touch sensor configured to detect a touch of a first wheel of a wheelchair; a first lock for the first wheel; a first motor configured to engage and disengage the first lock; at least one processor configured to communicate with the first touch sensor and control the first motor; and a memory having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, control the at least one processor to: in response to receiving sensor information indicative of a user touching the wheel while the first lock is engaged, control the first motor to disengage the first lock; and in response to receiving sensor information indicative of no user touching the wheel while the first lock is disengaged, control the first motor to engage the first lock.
