A powered wheelchair apparatus includes a chair component, a power base component and a wheelchair control system. The wheelchair control system includes a processor and a user input device communicatively coupled to the processor. A display is communicatively coupled to the processor. A memory module is communicatively coupled to the processor that stores logic that, when executed by the processor, causes the system to receive user instructions from the user input device and display a message on the display based on the user instructions. The display is on a back of the chair component.

A sub-mobility device charging system for a vehicle is capable of moving while carrying a sub-mobility device in which a passenger sits. The system includes an acquisition unit, a main electric power supply unit and a controller. The acquisition unit acquires a destination or traveling schedule inputted to the sub-mobility device; the main electric power supply unit supplies electric power to the sub-mobility device carried in the vehicle; and the controller controls to supply electric power to the sub-mobility device via the main electric power supply unit. The controller charges the sub-mobility device on a basis of the acquired traveling schedule for the sub-mobility device in the destination, and generates a traveling route to guide the charged sub-mobility device to a stop-off points corresponding to the destination.

The systems and methods provided herein are directed to navigating an automated mobility device for docking and undocking with a vehicle. The position and orientation of the mobility device relative to the vehicle are determined based on real-time images of the vehicle. Based on the position and orientation of the mobility device, the system determines a control command for automatically navigating the mobility device from its determined position to a docking position within the vehicle. The system subsequently determines a control command for automatically navigating the mobility device from the docking position within the vehicle to a position outside the vehicle.

The invention relates to a mobility scooter for individual mobility of a person, comprising a chassis, two front wheels aside the chassis and at least one rear wheel, a seat with a seat base and armrests for the person, a footrest on the chassis that extends between the seat and the front wheels, and an electronic controller assembly, wherein the mobility scooter has a driving mode and a boarding mode, wherein in the driving mode the seat base and the armrests are in the driving position, and wherein in the boarding mode the seat base or at least one of the armrests is in the boarding position, wherein the electronic controller is configured to steer the front wheels in the boarding mode into the sideward steering direction that is opposite to the side to which the seat base or the armrest is swung in the boarding position.

A mobile device includes a body, a motor, a transmission assembly and two driven components. The motor and the transmission assembly are disposed at the body. The transmission assembly includes a differential, two shafts and two stoppers. The differential is coupled to the motor. The two shafts are respectively coupled to the two opposite sides of the differential. The two stoppers are respectively disposed corresponding to the two shafts. The two driven components are respectively connected to the two shafts. When one of the two shafts is locked by the corresponding stopper, the motor may still drive the other shaft and the driven component connected thereto to rotate relative to the body through the differential. A transmission assembly is also provided.

The invention mainly concerns a mobility assistance vehicle (1) designed to negotiate obstacles (33, 35) while keeping the attitude of same horizontal, comprising a mechanical structure (2) supporting at least one seat (3), control means (19), at least four articulated legs (6a, 6b, 6c, 6d) and equipped with motorised wheels, characterised in that: i. each first segment (7a-7d) is mounted on one of the lateral sides (200) of the mechanical structure (2) by a motorised articulation (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d), each opposing lateral side (200) being linked to at least two legs (6a-6d), and in that, ii. the control means (19) are capable of controlling the motorised articulations (9a -9d, 10-10d) of the legs (6a-6d) separately from each other, in particular when said legs (6a-6d) are raised successively in order to negotiate an obstacle (33, 35) in a permanently stable situation.
