  • Publication number: 20230286451
    Abstract: The system 100 can include: a vehicle platform 110; a vehicle interface 120; and/or any other suitable components. The system 100 can optionally include driver system 130, an auxiliary sensor payload 140, a logger 150, and/or any other suitable components. However, the system 100 can additionally or alternatively include any other suitable set of components. The system functions to facilitate control of the vehicle platform based on driver inputs received at the vehicle interface. Additionally or alternatively, the system can function to facilitate installation and/or operation of a driver system (e.g., such as an AI driver or autonomous agent; modular driver system) and/or an auxiliary sensor payload onboard the vehicle platform. However, the system 100 can have any other suitable functionality.

  • Publication number: 20230058389
    Abstract: A method of operating an exoskeleton system that includes obtaining at an exoskeleton device, sensor data from one or more sensors; and determining, by the exoskeleton device based at least in part on the sensor data, one or more states, including one or more of: at least one state of the exoskeleton system; at least one state of a user wearing the exoskeleton system; and at least one state of a location where the user and exoskeleton system are located. The method further includes determining, by the exoskeleton device, a response based at least in part on the determined one or more states; and generating the response by the exoskeleton device causing actuation of the exoskeleton system.

  • Publication number: 20210369540
    Abstract: An exoskeleton system comprising at least one leg actuator unit configured to be coupled to leg of a user, the leg actuator unit including: an upper arm and a lower arm that are rotatably coupled via a joint, the joint positioned at a knee of the user with the upper arm coupled about an upper leg portion of the user above the knee and with the lower arm coupled about a lower leg portion of the user below the knee, a leg-actuator-unit user interface comprising a plurality of input and feedback elements, and an actuator that extends between the upper arm and lower arms.
