A power delivery system includes a turbocharger assist device and an inverter. The turbocharger assist device is mechanically connected to a turbocharger that is operably coupled to an engine, and is configured to generate electric current based on rotation of a rotor of the turbocharger. The inverter is electrically connected to the turbocharger assist device via a bus, and is configured to receive the electric current generated by the turbocharger assist device via the bus and supply the electric current to power a load.

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 present invention relates to a novel robot drive train that is robust, and low cost. The drive train is capable of ascending obstacles greater than the height of its wheels, protects the robot against shocks/vibration, and is highly maneuverable, such as able to execute a zero-point turn. To control the bogie in a variety of scenarios, a novel mechanism is used to selectively limit the articulation range of the bogie and/or programmatically apply a preload to the bogie axle.

A work vehicle includes a plurality of traveling devices for driving traveling, a plurality of articulated link mechanisms having at least two or more joints and supporting the plurality of traveling devices to a vehicle body, with allowing the plurality of traveling devices to be elevated/lowered independently of each other, a driving mechanism capable of changing respective postures of the plurality of articulated link mechanisms independently of each other, and a plurality of turning mechanisms configured to support the respective plurality of the articulated link mechanisms, with allowing the link mechanisms to be orientation-changeable about a vertical axis.

A modular movable robot includes a lower plate provided with a traveling unit, an upper plate spaced above the lower plate, a plurality of lower supporting frames vertically elongated between the lower plate and the upper plate, a top plate spaced above the upper plate, a plurality of upper supporting frames vertically elongated between the upper plate and the top plate, and a housing surrounding edges of the lower plate, the upper plate, and the top plate. A longitudinal length of the housing is longer than a horizontal width of the housing.

The present invention relates to a basic mobile robot (1) where the weight on the drive wheels (6) can be adjusted in order to achieve the optimal traction and braking performance of the mobile robot (1) for the relevant application. With the inventive design of the bogie arm (4) and the modular traction weights (9), the gravitation forces and resulting friction acting on the drive wheels (6) can be increased by attaching one or more traction weight modules (13) to the bogie arm extensions (12), while due to the cantilever effect, the resulting gravitation forces acting on the (front) caster wheels (7) are decreased. Thus, making it relatively easy to achieve just enough traction on the drive wheels (6) for the intended application, without compromising safety and with a minimum impact on the overall energy efficiency of the mobile robot (1). The mobile robot (1) is configurable for different applications including transportation of goods loaded on top of the mobile robot (1), cart pulling or automated hauling of materials indoors.
