  • Multimodal dynamic robotic systems
    Patent number: 9902058
    Abstract: Robotic systems include a frame or body with two or more wheels rotatably mounted on the frame or body and a motor for driving each wheel. A system controller generates a signal for actuating each motor based on information provided by one or more sensors in communication with the system controller for generating feedback signals for providing reactive actuation of the motors for generating one or more functions selected from the group consisting of forward motion, backward motion, hopping, climbing, and balancing. A power source is included for providing power to operate the drive motors, system controller and the one or more sensors.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 11, 2017
    Date of Patent: February 27, 2018
    Assignee: THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
    Inventors: Thomas R. Bewley, Christopher M. Schmidt-Wetekam, Nicholas Morozovsky, Matt Grinberg

  • Multimodal dynamic robotic systems
    Patent number: 9757855
    Abstract: Robotic systems according to the invention include a frame or body with two or more wheels rotatably mounted on the frame or body and a motor for independently driving each wheel. A system controller generates a signal for actuating each motor based on information provided by one or more sensors in communication with the system controller for generating feedback signals for providing reactive actuation of the motors for generating one or more functions selected from the group consisting of forward motion, backward motion, climbing, and balancing. A power source is included for providing power to operate the drive motors, system controller and the one or more sensors.
