Disclosed is a mobile robot having a receiving unit and capable of moving, the mobile robot including: at least three wheels arranged at a lower portion of the mobile robot; a sensing unit configured to measure a weight of the mobile robot applied to each of the at least three wheels; a linear actuator connected to the receiving unit and configured to apply a linear motion to the receiving unit in a direction toward a front section or a rearward section of the mobile robot; and a processor configured to, based on the weight applied to each of the at least three wheels measured by the sensing unit, control the linear actuator so as to apply the linear motion to the receiving unit. In addition, disclosed are a method for controlling a center of mass of a mobile robot, including a method performed by the aforementioned mobile robot, and a non-volatile computer readable storage medium in which a computer program for implementing the aforementioned method is stored.

An inertial regulation active suspension system based on posture deviation of a vehicle and a control method thereof are provided. The system comprises a vehicle body, an inertial measurement unit, an electronic control unit, a servo controller group, a plurality of wheels, suspension servo actuating cylinders respectively corresponding to the wheels, and displacement sensors for measuring a stroke of the suspension servo actuating cylinders. The electronic control unit reads posture parameters of the vehicle body measured by the inertial measurement unit, and calculates a deviation between the postures of the vehicle body at a current moment and at a previous moment, and then outputs posture control parameters to the servo controller group. The servo controller group controls extension and retraction of each of the suspension servo actuating cylinders according to the posture control parameters and displacement feedback values of the displacement sensors.

A rotorcraft-convertible motorcar includes a passenger cabin with at least one seat, a pair of front wheels, a central rear wheel, and two pairs of left and right supporting arms located on opposed sides of the passenger cabin, each supporting arm carrying a respective rotor assembly. The supporting arms are pivotally connected to the passenger cabin so that the rotorcraft-convertible car is convertible between an on-road configuration, where the supporting arms with the rotor assemblies are arranged inside a lateral overall size of the passenger cabin, and a flight configuration, where the supporting arms with the rotor assemblies are arranged at least partially outside the overall lateral size of the passenger cabin. The supporting arms and the rotor assemblies are configured so that in the on-road configuration the rotor assemblies are accommodated underneath the passenger cabin, on opposed sides of the central rear wheel.

Disclosed is a mobile robot including: at least three wheels; a sensing unit configured to measure a weight of the mobile robot applied to each of the three wheels; a support member connected to at least one of the at least three wheels; a length adjustment member connected to the support member so as to adjust a length of the support member; and a processor control the length adjustment member for effectively controlling a center of mass of a mobile robot. In addition, disclosed are a method implemented by the mobile robot to control a center of mass of the mobile robot, and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium in which a computer program for implementing the method for controlling the center of mass of the mobile robot.
