Systems and methods for a reconfigurable soft robotics-based vehicle interior is provided. The soft-robotics based vehicle interior comprises a child seat portion disposed in a vehicle seat, the child seat portion comprising a child seat constructed of highly complaint materials and mechanisms. When required, the highly compliant materials and mechanisms may be manipulated such that the child seat portion is moved from a retracted state to an engaged state. The child seat may also manipulate the highly complaint materials and mechanisms based on an anatomy of a child to provide customizable support for the child.

A child seat includes a horizontal seat panel and a vertical backrest panel that are each respectively received within a designated compartment in the seat and backrest of an existing passenger seat. Upon command, actuators displace both panels from their designated compartments to form a child seat when needed.

A front side of a back cushion of the main seat back has a storage cavity. A child seat back is slidingly coupled to the storage cavity to slide between a forward position and an alternate stored position adjacent a back face of the storage cavity. A child seat bottom is pivotably coupled to the child seat back to move between an open position and an alternate folded position adjacent the child seat back. A cover plate is coupled to the child seat bottom and conforms to a profile of the storage cavity such that with the child seat back in the stored position and the child seat bottom in the folded position the cover plate covers the storage cavity.

A vehicular boarding assistance device includes: a slope main body provided in a body of a vehicle so as to project and retract and configured to form a slope by being bridged between the body and a ground surface in a state of projecting from the body; a slope drive source configured to drive the slope main body so as to project and retract; a seat drive source configured to drive at least one of a plurality of seats installed on a floor of the vehicle; and a control unit configured to drive and control the slope drive source such that the slope main body projects and drive and control the seat drive source such that an occupying region of a boarding assistance target moving on the slope and moving to the floor is secured on the floor.

A vehicle seat with fold down child seat includes a passenger seat and a convertible child seat section. In a first seat configuration, the convertible child seat section may be for use by an adult or adolescent. In a second seat configuration, the convertible child seat section may be for use by a child. The convertible child seat section may includes a child seat back that rotates to present a front side for adult seating or a rear side for child seating and a child seat cushion that rotates to present a top side for adult seating or a bottom side for child seating. The seat back and seat cushion may rotate on a seat back spindle and seat bottom cushion, respectively. The convertible child seat section may include a harness. A vehicle seat may comprise multiple convertible child seat sections.

A vehicle seat device includes: a base member provided in a seat cushion or a seat back; a movable member rotatably connected to the base member; and stopper parts disposed to abut against each other on the base and movable members. The movable member rotates from a storage position and the rotation of the movable member is restricted at a deployment position so that a seat mode is changed. The vehicle seat device further includes an air bag interposed between the base and movable members and presses the base and movable members to rotate the movable member; and a clutch mechanism interposed between the base and movable members, allowing the rotation of the movable member in a deployment direction, and restricting the rotation of the movable member in a storage direction.
