    摘要: An electronic system that controls existing electrical devices, such as those typically found in buildings such as electrical outlets and single-pole single-throw switches, which can include a circuit board upon which is mounted a connector block, a controllable switch, an AC-to-DC power converter, electrically conductive jumpers, and a control circuit. The electronic system further provides a radio means for communicating with a system controller, which may be local or remote, which provides commands for controlling the electrical device. The electronic system is configured to compactly connect with the existing electrical device by way of the electrically conductive jumpers and to fit within the confines of a single gang electrical box.

    摘要: Force feedback in large, immersive environments is provided by device which a gyro-stabilization to generate a fixed point of leverage for the requisite forces and/or torques. In one embodiment, one or more orthogonally oriented rotating gyroscopes are used to provide a stable platform to which a force-reflecting device can be mounted, thereby coupling reaction forces to a user without the need for connection to a fixed frame. In one physical realization, a rigid handle or joystick is directly connected to the three-axis stabilized platform and using an inventive control scheme to modulate motor torques so that only the desired forces are felt. In an alternative embodiment, a reaction sphere is used to produce the requisite inertial stabilization. Since the sphere is capable of providing controlled torques about three arbitrary, linearly independent axes, it can be used in place of three reaction wheels to provide three-axis stabilization for a variety of space-based and terrestrial applications.

    摘要: A versatile robot provides a plurality of different, primary locomotion means and the capability of switching between modes of movement on a rapid basis to traverse a variety of terrains at high speed. In the preferred embodiment, the robot uses a plurality of legs as a first primary means of locomotion and a plurality of wheels as a second, primary means of locomotion. As such, the robot may use the wheels for high speed locomotion (in excess of 10 mph) over prepared surfaces, and the legs for traversing unprepared surfaces and man-made obstacles at lower speed. The system further employs means for monitoring leg or joint position to determine ground contact or obstacles.
