The present invention provides for a protective enclosure comprising a base comprising a first continuous mating surface and at least one conveyance aperture, a cover comprising a second continuous mating surface, wherein the second continuous mating surface is configured to form a seal with the first continuous mating surface, and a clamp, wherein at least a portion of the clamp is coupleable to the base, wherein a mouth of the clamp is configured to be offset from the aperture when the clamp is coupled to the base, wherein the clamp comprises a first sealing layer, and wherein the clamp is configured to seal the aperture against contaminants. The protective enclosure may be configured for use in a remotely controllable model vehicle to protect a control module.

A hand gesture controlled flying toy can utilize one or more infrared sensors and/or pressure sensors to determine how a user is interacting with the flying toy and conduct aerial maneuvers based on those interactions. The flying toy may be configured to ascend when lateral infrared sensors detect reflections of infrared light in multiple lateral directions. The flying toy may be configured to ascend when a pressure sensor detects a pressure increase from below the flying toy. The flying toy may be configured to conduct a roll responsive to an upward infrared sensor and a lateral infrared sensor detecting reflections of infrared light. The roll may be oriented at least partially based on which lateral infrared sensor detected a reflection.

A toy construction system comprising a plurality of toy construction elements including a plurality of function construction elements. The toy construction elements and the function construction elements are detachably interconnected with each other forming a toy construction model. The toy construction model comprising at least a subset of the plurality of toy construction elements; each function construction element comprising a function device adapted to perform a user-perceptible function. The toy construction system further comprises a tag construction element detachably connectable to one or more of the toy construction elements. The tag construction element and the function construction elements are configured for communication of configuration data from the tag construction element to each of the subset of function construction elements when the tag construction element is connected to a toy construction element. Each function construction element of the subset is configured to control the function device responsive to the communicated configuration data.

An interactive toy includes a housing, a control module, a motor, a rotating shaft, and an external member. The rotating shaft is exposed outside the housing, and is connected to the external member. The control module is configured to control the motor to drive the rotating shaft to rotate. The toy further includes a measurement module and an analysis module. The measurement module is configured to measure an angle by which the rotating shaft rotates from an initial stationary state to the state in which its rotating speed reaches the maximum. The analysis module is configured to compare a preset reference angle with the angle by which the rotating shaft from the initial stationary state to the state in which the rotating speed of the rotating shaft reaches the maximum to determine whether the external member encounters an obstacle.

The present invention provides for a protective enclosure comprising a base comprising a first continuous mating surface and at least one conveyance aperture, a cover comprising a second continuous mating surface, wherein the second continuous mating surface is configured to form a seal with the first continuous mating surface, and a clamp, wherein at least a portion of the clamp is coupleable to the base, wherein a mouth of the clamp is configured to be offset from the aperture when the clamp is coupled to the base, wherein the clamp comprises a first sealing layer, and wherein the clamp is configured to seal the aperture against contaminants. The protective enclosure may be configured for use in a remotely controllable model vehicle to protect a control module.

Mobile agents automatically manipulate components such as blocks on a working surface, to perform operations such as construction of generalized structures. The working surface and/or the components can have machine-readable codes to assist the agents in maintaining current knowledge of their respective locations. Agents identify components by type and location, and can move components according to directions; such directions can be provided by a user, or can be based on a pre-programmed directive, or can be determined dynamically based on current conditions or in response to actions of other agents. Agents may cooperate with one another. Agents can also respond to changes in the environment, alterations in works in progress, and/or other conditions, and may be configured to exhibit responses simulating emotional reactions. Different mobile agents can be associated with different character traits, which may be configured to change based on environmental conditions and/or the behavior of other mobile agents.

The present invention relates to an object controller capable of controlling a movement and a rotation of an object. The present invention provides an object controller capable of controlling a motion of an object, the object controller including: a main body; an operating unit which is in non-contact with the main body; and a control unit which controls a motion of the object based on a relative position of the operating unit to the main body.
