CONTROL MODES FOR HYBRID VEHICLES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240302835 titled 'CONTROL MODES FOR HYBRID VEHICLES
The patent application discusses systems and methods for controlling a hybrid vehicle that can switch between wheeled and walking locomotion modes. The vehicle includes sensors to receive external commands and an interpreter to direct the vehicle control system accordingly.
- The hybrid vehicle has a chassis and multiple leg-wheel components for both wheeled and walking locomotion.
- It includes sensors to receive external commands during a supplementary control mode.
- An external command interpreter interprets these commands and directs the vehicle control system.
- The vehicle control system then executes the external commands to control the hybrid vehicle effectively.
Potential Applications: - Military reconnaissance and surveillance missions - Search and rescue operations in rough terrains - Agricultural tasks requiring both wheeled and walking mobility
Problems Solved: - Enhanced maneuverability in challenging terrains - Improved adaptability to different environments - Efficient utilization of energy for varied locomotion modes
Benefits: - Versatile mobility options for diverse tasks - Increased efficiency in navigating complex terrains - Enhanced operational capabilities in dynamic environments
Commercial Applications: Title: "Hybrid Vehicle Control System for Versatile Mobility Applications" This technology can be utilized in defense, agriculture, and emergency response industries for improved mobility and operational efficiency.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the hybrid vehicle seamlessly transition between wheeled and walking locomotion modes? 2. What are the key advantages of using a hybrid vehicle with such versatile mobility capabilities?
Original Abstract Submitted
systems and methods for controlling a hybrid vehicle are provided. the hybrid vehicle may comprise a chassis, a plurality of leg-wheel components coupled to the chassis, wherein the plurality of leg-wheel components may be configured to be collectively operable to provide wheeled locomotion and walking locomotion. the hybrid vehicle may comprise at least one sensor configured to receive one or more external commands during a supplementary control mode, and an external command interpreter configured to interpret the one or more external commands and direct a vehicle control system. the vehicle control system may be configured to control the hybrid vehicle to effectuate the one or more external commands.
