DIFFERENTIAL TRACTION DRIVE AND STEERING AXIS COORDINATION SYSTEM AND METHOD
20250340240 · 2025-11-06 ·

A system and method for differential traction drive and steering axis coordination for an autonomous mower or other turf device includes initiating a steering motion based on determining a target forward speed and a steering rotational speed, calculating a left wheel speed and a right wheel speed, and applying the left and right wheel speeds, wherein the steering rotational speed is driven by a steering motor and the traction wheels associated with the autonomous mower, and the left and right wheel speeds are based on the target forward speed, a distance from a steering axle to the center of the respective wheel, and the steering rotational speed.

Removable steering wheels of vehicles and related methods

Systems, apparatus, articles of manufacture, and methods are disclosed to remove a steering wheel of a vehicle. As disclosed herein, a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed, cause processor circuitry of a vehicle to: detect a request to remove a steering wheel from a steering system of a vehicle; verify a user identity based on a user profile, the user profile stored in a memory associated with the vehicle; determine whether a disengagement criterion is satisfied; and after the user identity is detected and the disengagement criterion is satisfied, disengage a lock to enable removal of the steering wheel from the steering system of the vehicle.

RADIO-CONTROLLED VEHICLE
20260103231 · 2026-04-16 ·

A radio-controlled vehicle includes a frame, a powertrain, a control system, a kinetic unit movable on a support plane, and a remote control. The frame has a first longitudinal member and a second longitudinal member, and one or more crossmembers. The vehicle has an adjustment system having a drive unit, which is fixed to a respective crossmember, a rod and a sliding member, which is fixed to a respective kinetic unit. The rod is fixed at a first end to the drive unit and at a second end to the sliding member. The rod is configured to transmit to the sliding member the motion generated by the drive unit.

Midpoint correction device, midpoint correction method, and storage medium for steering torque sensor
12606236 · 2026-04-21 · ·

A midpoint correction device for performing midpoint correction of a steering torque sensor, which is applied to a vehicle provided with a EPS device that applies control torque to a steering transmission system between a steering wheel and a steered wheel, and a steering torque sensor provided in the steering transmission system, includes a control unit that includes a nonvolatile storage device and performs remote operation control of the vehicle, and the control unit stores the steering torque detected by the steering torque sensor in the storage device as a midpoint offset amount in a state where the remote operation control is performed, reads the midpoint offset amount from the storage device during traveling of the vehicle, and corrects the steering torque detected by the steering torque sensor with the midpoint offset amount, thereby performing midpoint correction.
