The present invention relates to motorized platforms wearable by a user, for enhancing the speed of walking while maintaining stability and reducing overall weight, due to a simplified structure and relatively modest number of components.

Embodiments of the present disclosure include a wireless remote control or remote control application for controlling the lighting of an electronic personal transportation vehicle. Embodiments can solve problems related to sharing electronic personal transportation vehicles by uniquely identifying a user, and allowing that user to control the lighting of the electronic personal transportation vehicle. In this manner, other users can control the lighting at different times, depending on the specific person that is using the electronic personal transportation vehicle at any given time.

An electric vehicle includes a lateral self-stabilization system and may further include a fore-aft self-stabilization system. The lateral self-stabilization system may include a controller configured to cause an actuator to laterally tilt a frame of the vehicle based on sensed information relating to an orientation of the vehicle, or portion thereof, about a roll axis. The frame of the vehicle may include any suitable structure configured to be laterally tilted by the actuator relative to an axle of the vehicle. The fore-aft stabilization system may include a motor controller configured to drive a motor of the vehicle based on sensed information relating to a pitch angle of the vehicle. In some examples, the vehicle is a robotic vehicle.

A personal mobility device includes a frame connected to at least one wheel, a connection part on the frame, a boarding part connected to the connection part to be tiltable, a first sensor disposed on the frame to measure an inclination of the frame, and a second sensor disposed on the boarding part to measure an inclination of the boarding part.

Presented is an apparatus and system for an artificial turf system. The artificial turf system includes a backing layer having a plurality of fibers extending therefrom. The artificial turf system further includes a plurality of impact sensors located at least partially on, in, and/or beneath the backing layer, wherein the plurality of impact sensors are operable to detect a force or pressure applied to the backing layer.

A recreational and/or sports type transport (board) having an object detection and proximity warning system. The board uses sensors and calculates the distance from object, and then warns the user of the proximity of same through tactile and/or audio feedback.

A human-machine interaction somatosensory vehicle is provided. The human-machine interaction somatosensory vehicle may include a vehicle body and two wheels mounted on the vehicle body. The two wheels may rotate around the vehicle body in a radial direction. The vehicle body may include a support frame, two pedal devices mounted on the support frame, a controller, and a driving device configured to drive the two wheels. The support frame may be an integral structure rotatably connected to the two pedal devices. The two pedal devices each may include a pedal foot board and a first position sensor. The first position sensor may be mounted between the pedal foot board and the support frame, and configured to detect stress information of the pedal device. The controller may be configured to control the driving device to drive the two wheels to move or turn based on the stress information of the pedal devices.

An electric weight sensing skateboard using one or more strain gauge systems to detect rider-induced strain on one or both trucks, an inertial sensor to detect accelerations and balance position, and wheel speed sensors. Throttle is controlled by rider position, for example, lean forward to increase speed, lean back to slow down. Several drive methods include a driver position detection velocity setpoint control, torque setpoint control, and direct velocity/torque control. A throttle remote is note required. Rider weight activates the motors.

A self-propelled, one-wheeled vehicle may include a suspension system configured to dampen up and down motion of a board relative to the axle of a central wheel assembly when the vehicle encounters obstacles and bumps on a riding surface. Illustrative suspension systems include a shock absorber, a rocker, a pushrod, bell cranks, and/or a swingarm that couple the axle to the board. The suspension system may be disposed completely below a foot deck of the vehicle.

A sports detection and reporting system that locates the players and the ball to determined if certain play criteria have been met. The system also displays on the field detected locations relevant to the players and the play in real time.
