前記フレームに提供される1つのデフレクタであって、前記デフレクタは、前記前方ガイドと前記後方ガイドの間で前記フレームに対して動作可能であり、頂点領域を形成するために、前記前方ガイドと前記後方ガイドの間で前記無限軌道の地面に係合する部分を下方に偏らせるように構成されるデフレクタとを備え、
前記軽量のロボット車両は、関節アームによって、前記無限軌道と直列の関係にある別の無限軌道により、前記無限軌道の前記頂点領域で安定する、懸架システム。 - 前記1つのデフレクタが、前記前方ガイドおよび前記後方ガイドのうちの少なくとも1つに対して固定された位置にある、請求項1に記載のシステム。
- 前記前方ガイドおよび前記後方ガイドが、固定された相対位置で前記フレームに連結された、請求項1に記載のシステム。
- 前記前方ガイドおよび前記後方ガイドがそれぞれローラである、請求項1に記載のシステム。
- 前記1つのデフレクタがローラである、請求項1に記載のシステム。
- 前記軽量のロボット車両の重量が9.072キログラム(20ポンド)未満の場合に、前記デフレクタが前記軽量のロボット車両を支持するように構成された、請求項1に記載のシステム。
- 直列構成の無限軌道の上で軽量のロボット車両を支持する方法であって、
車両フレームの前方ガイドおよび後方ガイドの周囲に輪状に装着された無限軌道を設けるステップと、
前記無限軌道の頂点領域を形成するために、1つのデフレクタによって、前記無限軌道の1つの地面に係合する部分を前記前方ガイドと前記後方ガイドの間で下方に選択的に偏らせるステップと、
支持面に関して前記無限軌道の地面に係合する部分で荷重の分布を変更可能にするように、関節アームにより前記無限軌道と直列の関係にある別の無限軌道と前記頂点領域で少なくとも部分的に前記軽量のロボット車両を安定させるステップとを含む方法。 - 前記無限軌道の前記頂点領域が、前記関連する車両フレームの実質的に全ての重量を支持するように、固い表面の上で前記軽量のロボット車両を動作させるステップをさらに含む、請求項7に記載の方法。
- 前記関連する車両フレームの重量が、実質的に前記無限軌道の前記地面に係合する部分の上に分布されるように、柔らかい表面の上で前記軽量のロボット車両を動作させるステップをさらに含む、請求項7に記載の方法。
- 前記軽量のロボット車両を他の軽量のロボット車両に結合するステップと、
前記軽量のロボット車両が前記頂点領域でバランスを保つように前記軽量のロボット車両と前記他の軽量のロボット車両との動作を調整するステップをさらに含む、請求項7に記載の方法。 - 前記無限軌道の前記頂点領域の湾曲度を変えるために、垂直軸に沿って前記地面に係合する部分を選択的に偏らすステップをさらに含む、請求項7に記載の方法。
- 前記無限軌道の平坦な地面に係合する部分を形成するために、前記デフレクタを上方に動かすステップをさらに含む、請求項7に記載の方法。
- 前記別の無限軌道を支持する別のフレームを有し、前記別のフレームは、該別のフレームに結合され且つ別の無限軌道の各ループ部分を受け入れるように構成される、前方ガイドおよび後方ガイドを有する、請求項1に記載のシステム。
- 前記別のフレームが前記前方ガイドと後方ガイドとの間に一つのデフレクタを有し、前記1つのデフレクタが、前記別の無限軌道上に頂点領域を形成するように前記前方ガイドと後方ガイドとの間で前記別の無限軌道の地面に係合する部分を下方に偏らせるように構成されている、請求項13に記載のシステム。
- 両方の無限軌道の頂点領域を形成するために、前記無限軌道および別の無限軌道の両方の地面に係合する部分を下方に選択的に偏らせるステップと、
前記車両フレームおよび別の車両フレームが前記頂点領域の上でバランスを保つように、前記無限軌道および前記関節アームの動作を調整するステップとをさらに含む、請求項7に記載の方法。 - 前記フレームと別のフレームの各デフレクタは、各頂点領域で、両方の車両フレームを同時に支持するように、地面に係合可能である、請求項14に記載のシステム。
