The present invention obtains a controller and a control method capable of achieving appropriate cornering during cruise control of a straddle-type vehicle. In the controller and the control method according to the present invention, during the cruise control, in which acceleration/deceleration of the straddle-type vehicle is automatically controlled without relying on an accelerating/decelerating operation by a driver, an entry of a curved road is detected on the basis of a predicted route of the straddle-type vehicle, and the straddle-type vehicle is decelerated at a time point before the straddle-type vehicle reaches the entry.

A human-powered vehicle control device for a human-powered vehicle includes an electronic controller that controls an electric brake device and a component of the human-powered vehicle that differs from the electric brake device. The electric brake device and the component are supplied with electric power from a common battery. The electronic controller gives actuation priority to the electric brake device over the component.

One variation of a system includes: a cam block mounted to a deck of a scooter and defining cam lobes arranged about a pivot feature and cam heels between the set of cam lobes; a pivot block pivotably coupled to the pivot feature and defining followers riding over the cam lobes; a pair of wheel uprights locating a pair of wheel assemblies; a first lateral link extending between and coupled to the pair of wheel uprights and pivotably coupled to the pivot block; a second lateral link extending between and coupled to the pair of wheel uprights, vertically offset from the first lateral link, and coupled to the pivot block between pair of wheel uprights; and a spring element driving the followers of the pivot block into cam heels to bias the second lateral link toward a neutral position.

A control device is provided to reliably locate objects and calculate appropriate grasp points for each object to thereby effectively control a robot system. grasp point calculation is based on, at least, properties of a surface of the object to be grasped by the robot system to more effectively calculate a grasp point for the surface of the object. An organised point cloud generator and a robot system having a suction cup end are to generate an organised point cloud of a storage. The robot system can grasp the object from the storage means. Normals of the organised point cloud and principal curvatures of the organised point cloud can be calculated. A grasp point can be calculated for the suction cup end effector of the robot system to grasp an object based on the organised point cloud, the calculated normal, the calculated principal curvatures, and a normal of a lower surface of the storage.

A gerbilling-proof monowheel vehicle comprises: (a) a wheel felloe with a tire thereon; (b) a frame rotatably mounted within the wheel felloe; the frame carrying a passenger seat; (c) moving means configured for propelling the gerbilling-proof monowheel vehicle; and (d) braking means configured for decelerating the gerbilling-proof monowheel vehicle. The gerbilling-proof monowheel further comprises at least two auxiliary wheels side-mounted on the frame for vertically stabilizing the passenger seat and preventing the gerbilling-proof monowheel from side tipover and maintaining said passenger seat in a horizontal position within said wheel felloe.

An ABS disposition structure of a saddle riding vehicle includes a head pipe, a main frame, a pair of left and right center frames extending downward from a rear section of the main frame and having a pivot section by which a front end portion of a swing arm is pivotably supported, a cushion disposed at a center in a vehicle width direction, and an ABS modulator configured to perform ABS control, wherein, when seen in a side view, a central axis of the cushion is disposed to be offset from a center frame in a forward and rearward direction, and the ABS modulator is disposed between the cushion and the center frame in a vehicle width direction.

A measurement of the rotation speed of an object is made using a time-of-flight sensor configured to detect a passing of one or more of elements of the object through a given position. The time-of-flight sensor is further mounted on a one-person vehicle configured to protect the one-person vehicle against collisions through the making a time-of-flight measurement of a relative speed between the one-person vehicle and an obstacle.
