    摘要: A method for controlling a motorized balancing transporter that has two wheels in contact with the ground in normal operation. A signal substantially proportional to the shaft velocity is produced, and, at a rate less than 200 times per second, a voltage is calculated based at least on the shaft velocity signal and a specified transporter velocity and a voltage is applied to the motor based on the calculated voltage. A method is also provided for yaw control of the motorized balancing transporter that includes calculating a command to a motor amplifier based on balancing requirements of the transporter and augmenting the command to the motor amplifier based on a specified direction of motion.

    摘要: A method for detecting an open winding in a motor. The method employs passive monitoring of the voltage, current and speed of the motor. A residue voltage is calculated that equals the difference between an idealized set of voltage drops across the motor load elements and the actual voltage drops. When the magnitude of the residue voltage equals or exceeds a threshold, an open winding condition may be declared and appropriate action may be taken.

    摘要: A vehicle for transporting a payload over a surface that may be irregular and may include stairs. The vehicle has a support for supporting the payload and a ground contacting element movable with respect to a local axis, where the local axis can be moved with respect to some second axis that has a defined relation with respect to the support. The vehicle also has a motorized drive arrangement for permitting controllable motion of the ground contacting element so as to operate in an operating condition that is unstable with respect to tipping in at least a fore-aft plane when the motorized drive arrangement is not powered. The vehicle also has an input device for receiving an indication from an assistant who is not disposed on the vehicle of a direction of desired motion of the vehicle.

    摘要: A user input for controlling acceleration of a vehicle. The user input has a movable member capable of deflection by a user such that a degree of deflection corresponds to a specified velocity commanded by the user. The correspondence between the degree of deflection and the specified velocity may include a plurality of zones, each zone characterized by a distinct sensitivity that may be capable of customization for a specific user. The user input may also include a neutral position of the movable member, wherein a substantially sudden motion of the movable member to the neutral position causes a slewed slowing of the vehicle.
