The system can include a modular device with at least one sensor configured to generate signals associated with characteristics of the ambient environment, a bed plate configured to be mechanically coupled to the RC vehicle, and a modular control circuit configured to be mechanically coupled to the bed plate and communicably coupled to the modular device, wherein the modular control circuit is configured to be communicably coupled to hardware of the RC vehicle and control the RC vehicle in response to commands received from the modular device.
Abstract:
A robotic vehicle for traversing a grooved track is described. The robotic vehicle includes a set of one or more axles; a set of wheels coupled to each axle in the set of one or more axles; one or more motors to rotate the set of one or more axles, including the set of wheels of each axle in the set of axles, to propel the robotic vehicle along the grooved track; and a steering system to manage navigation of the robotic vehicle along the grooved track, wherein the steering system controls rotation of the set of one or more axles along respective pivot points to manage steering of the robotic vehicle.
Abstract:
There is provided space-based toys that are present on space vehicles like the International Space Station, equipment on the launch pad awaiting launch to space, toys in transit from earth to space, toys in space where they may be in orbit around planets or other bodies or even traveling through space. The space-based toy may be a payload installed on a space object, may be a complete and self-sustaining space vehicle, or may integrate into a payload or space vehicle with the ability to gather additional input or to influence or control the equipment or space vehicle. The space-based toy is constructed to withstand the environment of earth, space, and heavenly bodies, as required. The space-based toy has its own set of sensors and/or actuators and are able to communicate wirelessly with other space- based toys and earth-based toys using a traditional ground system.
Abstract:
A simulation transmitter for remote operated vehicles (STROV) is disclosed for allowing users in the toy and hobby industry to realistically simulate everyday driving experiences and implement them into any remote-controlled vehicle. The STROV system remotely operates land, air and sea remote controlled hobby vehicles, boats and planes. It includes a steering wheel, a separate hand-operated throttle and brake control and a separate foot-operated throttle and brake control.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a robotic system including one or more self-propelled motorized vehicles 120 (SPMV) whose motion is controlled in accordance with electronic image data acquired by one or more observing camera(s) 110 configured to image a scene including the SPMV 120. In some embodiments, the SPMV includes one or more on-board lights 124, and the SPMV is operated according to analyzing images acquired by the observing camera before and after an illumination transition of one or more of the point-lights. Some embodiments relate techniques to computer gaming and/or to stereoscopic image processing techniques.
Abstract:
A toy system includes a drivable surface that includes location encoding markings. A toy vehicle or mobile agent is provided that includes a drive motor, an imaging system for taking images of the markings, a vehicle wireless transceiver, and a microcontroller operatively coupled to the motor, the imaging system, and the vehicle wireless transceiver. A basestation is provided that includes a controller operatively coupled to a basestation wireless transceiver. Via wireless communication between the wireless transceivers of the toy vehicle and the basestation, an action to be implemented by the toy vehicle can be determined by the basestation and communicated to the toy vehicle, whereupon the microcontroller of the toy vehicle controls detailed movement of the toy vehicle on the drivable surface based on images taken of the markings of the drivable surface by the imaging system to cause the toy vehicle to implement the action on the drivable surface.
Abstract:
Изобретение относится к дистанционно управляемым транспортным средствам и может быть использовано в быту и сфере развлечений. Дистанционное транспортное средство содержит корпус, закрепленные в нем схему управления и обработки информации, приемник-передатчик радиосигналов, источник питания и/или выводы для его подключения, привод, динамик и/или сигнальные выводы для динамика, устройство для анализа состояния и/или влияния окружающей среды, дисплей, клавиатуру. При этом корпус транспортного средства выполнен из двух или более модулей, механически связанных друг с другом при помощи фиксирующих элементов с возможностью отсоединения одного модуля от другого и/или с возможностью вращения и/или другого перемещения модулей друг относительно друга. Модули связаны с помощью сигнальных выводов и/или беспроводной связи. Один из этих модулей является транспортным модулем, а другой является управляющим модулем.
Abstract:
This invention is that a user can learn naturally the name of objects, character, or mathematics through play. Each piece is composed of divided blocks, every nation's characters such as consonant or vowel of Hangul, alphabet of English, and Hiragana of the Japanese, number, operator, and etc. The inside of these has a part of small microprocessor and infrared communication transceiver. Each block transmits its own data to next block then the last block inspects whether combined blocks are effective if pieces are adjusted with each other. The phonic symbols stored in advance are out put ted by the speaker if final combined data is effective. Therefore, There are visible characteristics users can observe alone because they can know whether the blocks are well fitted with each other or not without assistance.
