Patent number: 9233313Abstract: An ambulatory toy includes a body; a drive mechanism coupled to the body; a plurality of leg members coupled to the drive mechanism, each of the leg members having a distal end disposed downwardly in a first position and adapted to contact a support surface; and a self-righting member coupled to at least one of the legs. The self-righting member adapted to move the distal ends of the legs of the toy from a second position to the first downwardly disposed position. The method of self-righting using the self-righting member coupled to the leg.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2012Date of Patent: January 12, 2016Assignee: Innovation First, Inc.Inventors: Raul Olivera, David Anthony Norman, Robert H. Mimlitch, III, Jeffrey R. Waegelin

Patent number: 8616463Abstract: An apparatus includes modular track sections adapted to be assembled into a track for autonomous vehicles. The track is configured such that the vehicles tend to stay on the track and that allows the autonomous vehicles to enter and exit the track from at least one side of the track.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2011Date of Patent: December 31, 2013Assignee: Innovation First, Inc.Inventors: Robert H. Mimlitch, III, David Anthony Norman, Joel Reagan Carter, Douglas Michael Galletti, Gregory E. Needel, Jeffrey R. Waegelin, Gregory Lavendar

Patent number: 8591281Abstract: An apparatus includes a housing, a rotational motor situated within the housing, a vibrating mechanism, and a plurality of appendages each having an appendage base proximal to the housing and an appendage tip distal from the housing. One or more of the appendages are adapted to cause the apparatus to move across a surface in a forward direction generally defined by a longitudinal offset between the appendage base and the appendage tip, and the appendages include two or more appendages disposed such that the appendage tips of the two or more appendages are adapted to contact opposing surfaces to produce a net force in a direction generally defined by a longitudinal offset between the appendage base and the appendage tip of the two or more appendages as the vibrating mechanism causes the apparatus to vibrate. The net force can allow the apparatus to climb when the opposing surfaces are inclined.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2012Date of Patent: November 26, 2013Assignee: Innovation First, Inc.Inventors: Robert H. Mimlitch, III, David Anthony Norman, Jeffrey R. Waegelin, Gregory E. Needel, Guijiang Li

Publication number: 20120178340Abstract: An apparatus includes an appendage rotatably coupled to a body of a device adapted to move based on internally induced vibration of the device. The appendage can be attached directly to the body of the device or to a frame that is adapted to releasably attach to the device. The appendage is adapted to rotate about an axis of rotation as vibration induces motion of the device. The device can include a body, an eccentric load, a rotational motor coupled to the body and adapted to rotate the eccentric load, and a plurality of legs each having a leg base and a leg tip at a distal end relative to the leg base. At least one driving leg configured to cause the apparatus to move in a direction generally defined by an offset between the leg base and the leg tip as the rotational motor rotates the eccentric load.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 2, 2012Publication date: July 12, 2012Applicant: Innovation First, Inc.Inventors: Robert H. Mimlitch, III, David Anthony Norman, Gregory E. Needel, Jeffrey R. Waegelin, Douglas Michael Galletti, Joel Reagan Carter
