Abstract: Provided is a method of modeling behavior for a self-driving vehicle, e.g., as a follower vehicle. Also provided is a vehicle configured to execute the behavior model to cooperatively navigate at least one structural element in an environment. The structural element can be or include a door, a vestibule, and/or an elevator, as examples. The behavior model can be formed by a method that includes tracking and measuring leader-follower interactions and actions with at least one structural element of an environment, representing the leader behaviors and the follower behavior in a behavior model, and electronically storing the behavioral model. The leader-follower interactions and actions can include leader behaviors and follower behaviors, including starts, stops, pauses, and movements of the leader, follower vehicle, and/or objects.

Abstract: A self-powered vehicle comprises a mechanical drive system, a set of sensors, and a controller coupled to the mechanical drive system to move the vehicle. The self-powered vehicle can operate in a plurality of modes, including a training mode and a smart behavior mode. In the training mode, the vehicle follows a trajectory of a user, and stores the trajectory in memory. In the smart behavior mode the vehicle autonomously traverses the stored trajectory.

Abstract: Provided is a self-powered vehicle, comprising: a mechanical drive system, a set of sensors, and a controller coupled to the mechanical drive system to move the vehicle. The self-powered vehicle can operate in a plurality of modes, including a pair mode and a smart behavior mode. In pair mode the vehicle follows the trajectory of a user and in smart behavior mode the vehicle performs autonomous behavior. The self-powered vehicle operates with hysteresis dynamics, such that the movements of the vehicle are consistent with ergonomic comfort of the user and third-party pedestrian courtesy. The self-powered vehicle can operate with other self-powered vehicles in a convoy.

Abstract: A linkage-based shifting assembly comprises first and second arms, having a first wheel rotatably coupled to a proximal end of the first arm and a second wheel rotatably coupled to a proximal end of the second arm. A shifting assembly is configured to couple to a chassis, wherein the shifting assembly is coupled to distal ends of the first and second arms and configured to cause a relative shifting motion between the chassis and the first and second wheels. The linkage-based shifting assembly can form part of a vehicle. The vehicle can be a two-wheeled vehicle. The vehicle can be a mobile carrier. The mobile carrier can be a two-wheeled vehicle.
