A personal mobility vehicle or scooter includes a least one swivel caster wheel supported at the rear of the scooter. The scooter has a body that includes a deck and a handlebar assembly. The scooter includes at least one front wheel with the deck extending between the at least one front wheel and the at least one swivel wheel. The scooter can also include an angled rear portion supporting a rear swivel caster wheel such that the pivot axis of the swivel wheel is inclined with respect to the top surface of the deck. Embodiments of the scooter also include a swivel braking assembly configured to apply a braking force to the at least one swivel wheel.

A surgical robot includes a robotic arm, a cart supporting the robotic arm and including a steering assembly. The steering assembly comprises wheels and a handle. The handle is moveable to a first position, a second position, and a third position. The steering assembly is configured such that the wheels allow the cart to roll in a longitudinal direction when the handle is in the first position, the wheels allow the cart to be roll a rotational direction when the handle is in the second position, and the wheels allow the cart to roll in a lateral direction when the handle is in the third position.

Animal grooming wagons are presented including: a base having a substantially planar top surface and forming a rectangular shape, where the base includes: a pair of end wall receiving slots each positioned along opposite end portions of the base; a pair of side wall receiving slots each positioned along opposite side portions of the base; removable inserts positioned along the top surface of the base; a front steerable wheeled axle positioned along the front-end portion of the base; a rear wheeled axle positioned along the rear-end portion of the base; a steering bar for steering the front steerable wheeled axle; and an anchor point positioned centrally along the top surface of the base.

An adjustable height cart height adjustable cart includes a frame extending in a longitudinal direction from a front end of the cart to a rear end of the cart. The frame includes a base provided with casters and a height adjustable frame connected to the base. The height adjustable frame is configured to be raised or lowered relative to the base. The height adjustable frame includes a lower shelf and an upper shelf. The upper shelf has an opening for loading and unloading items onto the cart. A handle is connected to the base at the rear end. A lower tote is slidably mounted on the lower shelf so as to move in a lateral direction. A top tote is slidably mounted on the upper shelf so as to move in the longitudinal direction forward and backward to enable loading of the lower tote through the opening.

A support roller (30, 30′) for supporting a vehicle on an underlying surface, comprising at least one bearing element which is at least indirectly connectable to at least one supporting structure of the vehicle, at least one fork connected to the bearing element, and at least one wheel (90, 90′) which is mounted in the fork so as to be rotatable about a first rolling axis (R) and can be brought into contact with the underlying surface, at least one sensing device (190 ) for sensing at least one supporting force with which the wheel (90, 90′) is supported on the underlying surface. A vehicle, in particular an industrial truck, comprising at least one support roller and a method for stabilizing a vehicle.

A smart self-driving system includes a body, such as a piece of luggage, supported by a plurality of wheel assemblies. At least one wheel assemblies includes a wheel rotating motor configured to rotate a wheel of the wheel assembly to move the luggage in a given direction. At least one wheel assemblies includes a wheel orientation sensor configured to measure the orientation of the wheel. At least one wheel assembly includes a wheel orientation motor configured to orient the wheel in the given direction. The smart self-driving system is configured to move in forward direction that is different than a head direction of the body.

A motorized cart assembly includes a cart that has a basket, a collapsible frame and a plurality of wheels. The basket has a height that is greater than a width of the basket to accommodate tent poles and a tent. The frame includes a pole support for insertably receiving a respective one of the tent poles to vertically orient the respective tent pole. A drive unit is coupled to the cart and the drive unit is in mechanical communication with respective ones of the wheels. The drive unit rotates the respective wheels when the drive unit is turned on thereby facilitating the cart to be self propelled. The drive unit is in wireless communication with a personal electronic device for remotely controlling the drive unit.

A wagon having both a utility mode and a driving mode is disclosed. The wagon includes a chassis and a bucket for conveying at least one object. The object can be an inanimate object, wherein the wagon can be configured in utility mode to be pulled by an operator. Or, the object can be a living being, wherein the wagon can be configured either for the utility mode or a driving mode to be driven and controlled by an occupant of the bucket. Various features enable the wagon to be reconfigurable for a desired design.

Systems and methods are disclosed for holonomic drivetrain modules for mobile robots. In one embodiment, an example mobile robot may include a chassis, and a holonomic drivetrain module removably coupled to the chassis. The holonomic drivetrain module may include a first drive wheel having a caster angle of substantially zero, a first bearing block assembly vertically aligned with the first drive wheel, and a first steer motor coupled to the first bearing block assembly and vertically aligned with the first drive wheel.
