A personal mobility device includes a control system including a manually operated actuator, a first forward control valve having an inlet in fluid connection with a source of pressurized gas and an outlet in fluid connection with a first forward port of at least a first pneumatic motor, and a first rearward control valve having an inlet in fluid connection with the source of pressurized gas and an outlet in fluid connection with a first rearward port of the first pneumatic motor. Movement of the manually operated actuator controls actuation of the first forward control valve and the first rearward control valve and thereby flow of gas from the source of pressurized gas to the first forward port and the first rearward port.

There is provided a moving base which includes a front base with front wheels and a rear base with rear wheels, the front and rear base extendable in a front-rear direction of a vehicle; a seat movable between a seating position and a folded position; a motor which drives the front and/or rear wheel; a sensor which detects the seating position and the folded position; a display part for displaying information related to the seating position or the folded position detected by the sensor to a user; and a control unit which controls the motor in accordance with operation of an operating part, and which can execute control such that a driving operation of the motor by the operating part is disabled when the sensor does not detect the seating or folded position.

A control system includes a joystick and a computer. The joystick includes a joystick body, a cover hingedly coupled to the joystick body and movable between an open position and a closed position, and an input located on the joystick body. The input is exposed by the cover when the cover is in the open position and concealed by the cover when the cover is in the closed position. The computer is programmed to enter a first mode in response to the cover moving from the open position to the closed position, to enter a second mode in response to both the cover moving from the closed position to the open position and the input being activated, and to remain in a same of the first and second modes in response to the cover moving from the closed position to the open position without the input being activated.

A joystick-based hand control device establishes a method for an individual with a lower extremity mobility impairment to safely operate the brake and throttle in a car using only a single hand to manipulate said joystick (2). This device allows the operator to control the throttle by moving the joystick along the positive y-axis (3) (forwards from center). The brake may be controlled by moving the joystick along the negative y-axis (backwards from center), as well as along the x-axis (left or right from center) (5 and 6 respectively). This device also allows for customization of certain system parameters by the operator via the microcontroller (7), so that its function may be modified to better suit the operator's unique needs or driving style.

A lever type integrated control unit of a vehicle, may include a lever housing pivotally displaced in a width direction of a vehicle, an acceleration unit located at one end portion of the lever housing and configured to transmit acceleration information related to the vehicle, and an acceleration controller connected to the acceleration unit and configured to receive the acceleration information related to the vehicle from the acceleration unit.

A folding electric wheelchair that provides the user an electronic driving system powered by two lithium-ion batteries that is sealed to be weatherproof, able to drive over different terrain types and slope grades on any given day whether it's raining or sunny, lightweight and portable for transportation, travel-friendly, compact in overall size when in the folded position to fit into a small space for storage. An ergonomically contoured seating that includes a bump dampening and terrain vibration system with the supporting frame pieces (34), (42), and (50) having an oval shape. The manner of how the embodiment operates to fold and unfold consists of eight specific hinge joint embodiments including: (30), (32), (38), (40), (46), (48), (58) and (64).

Control of a self-powered floor preparation machine is provided by an ergonomic controller having a guarded control stick which has various characteristics, including its pitch, roll, yaw and height, that may all be adjusted.

A rotatable chair is provided with a launching member and a set of wheels. The chair includes: (i) a seat; (ii) a base; (iii) a plurality of framing members; (iv) a joystick; (v) a launching member; (vi) a nozzle; (vii) a set of motorized wheels; (viii) a directional wheel; (ix) an emergency stop button; and (x) a plurality of detachment devices to easily and quickly dismantle the chair into easily transportable parts. The base encloses a motor, a battery, a set of wheels and a water tank. The joysticks are configured to control the movement of the chair. The launching member can shoot a plurality of balls. The nozzles are configured to spray water from the water tank. The set of motorized wheels and the directional wheel are configured to move and rotate the chair, respectively. The emergency stop button is configured to stop the chair from moving.

The present disclosure relates to an integrated control apparatus for an autonomous driving vehicle, in which operation for accelerating, braking, and steering of a vehicle is implemented through one integrated lever and buttons for starting and shifting of a vehicle are disposed on one case together with the integrated lever. Accordingly, the integrated control apparatus can be easily used for an autonomous driving vehicle.

An electric go-kart includes a frame and a crossbar. The crossbar is fixed to the frame and extends transversely to a left and right side of the frame. An accommodation box is rotationally coupled to each of the left and right side of the crossbar by a connector. A wheel is installed on an outer end of each accommodation box. A steering rod includes a one end fixed to the connector. A support rod is located at a front end of the frame. A stabilizing wheel is pivotably coupled to a front end of the support rod. A seat is fixed on a top side of the frame. A battery is located within the frame.
