At least one sensor is coupled to the body to generate orientation data therefor. A control module is coupled to the at least one motor to control operation thereof at least partially based on the orientation data generated by the at least one sensor.

The disclosure relates to a method for actuating an electric drive of a trailer vehicle with a towing vehicle, including the steps: determining a current slip of at least one driven wheel of a towing vehicle pulling the trailer vehicle, determining an expected slip for the driven wheel of the towing vehicle, determining an acceleration demand depending on the determined current slip and the determined expected slip and actuating the electric drive depending on the acceleration demand. The disclosure also relates to a control unit for executing the method, a towing vehicle, a trailer vehicle and a vehicle combination.

A wheel structure includes: a wheel; a rotary part disposed inside the wheel and configured to rotate together with the wheel; a fixing part facing the rotary part; a hub bearing disposed at one side of the rotary part and the fixing part; and a resolver facing the hub bearing and configured to detect a position of the hub bearing. The hub bearing includes: a hub body fixedly coupled to the rotary part; and a hub outer race fixedly coupled to the fixing part. The resolver includes: a resolver rotor; and a resolver stator. The resolver rotor is fixedly coupled to the hub body.

A power transmission apparatus may include a first motor-generator including a first stator fixed to a first housing, and a first rotor; a second motor-generator including a second stator fixed to a second housing and a second rotor; a first planetary gear set including first and third rotation elements connected to the first rotor and a first wheel, respectively, and a third rotation element; a second planetary gear set including fourth, fifth and sixth rotation elements connected to the second rotor, a second wheel, and the third rotation element, respectively; a first clutch selectively locking up the first planetary gear set by selectively connecting two out of the first to third rotation elements; a second clutch selectively locking up the second planetary gear set by selectively connecting two of the fourth to sixth rotation elements; and a brake selectively fixing the third and sixth rotation elements to a third housing.

A hydrostatic transaxle includes: a casing that is provided with an openable and closable filter insertion port and is filled with hydraulic oil; a hydraulic continuously variable transmission that is arranged inside the casing; a filter holding member that includes a support base that is a hollow cylindrical portion and oil-tightly partitions an inside of a cylinder and an outside of the cylinder, and a filter connection port that is a hollow cylindrical portion extending from a peripheral side surface of the support base and communicating with the inside of the cylinder, the support base communicating the inside of the cylinder to the port, and arranged between the center section and the casing facing the port; and a filter body that is freely inserted to and removed from the casing via the filter insertion port.

A walking vehicle including a chassis and a plurality of wheel-leg components is described. The plurality of wheel-leg components are collectively operable to provide wheeled locomotion and walking locomotion.

The turning radius of a differentially steered vehicle towing a trailer is controlled when turning so that its turning radius is greater than a minimum allowable turning radius. The turning radius may be autonomously adjusted using a controller to monitor the instantaneous rotational speed differential between the driven wheels and increase or decrease the relative speed between the wheels when the instantaneous rotational speed differential exceeds a threshold rotational speed differential, indicating a turn which is too tight. Alternately, the turning radius may be controlled by the vehicle's operator, who receives a signal from the controller indicating that the vehicle's turning radius is less than the minimum allowable. The operator may then take action to enlarge the turning radius using manual controls.

A vehicle drive device with a variable transmission includes a first driving module that provides a driving force, a second driving module that controls a transmission ratio, a reduction gear part comprising a first sun gear, a second sun gear, and a planetary gear provided inside the second driving module, and an output part connected to one of the first sun gear, the second sun gear, and the planetary gear. In particular, the first driving module is connected to another one of the first sun gear, the second sun gear, and the planetary gear that is not connected to the output part.

Disclosed is a mobile object including a body part, a drive part coupled to one side of the body part and including one or more wheels, and an accommodation part coupled to the other side of the body part and having an internal space capable of accommodating an article, in which the drive part is coupled to a lower region of the body part, and the body part is rotatably coupled to the drive part, and in which the accommodation part is coupled to an upper region of the body part, and the accommodation part rotatably coupled to the body part.
