Abstract
Embodiments of the disclosure provide an electric vehicle and a method for controlling the electric vehicle. The electric vehicle includes at least one electric motorized wheel to drive the electric vehicle; a pressure sensor module configured to detect pressure on the electric vehicle; a communication interface configured to receive remote instructions from a remote controller; and a central controller configured to operate the at least one electric motorized wheel in a control mode based on at least one of the received remote instructions and the pressure.
Claims25
An electric vehicle, comprising:
- at least one electric motorized wheel to drive the electric vehicle;
- a pressure sensor module configured to detect pressure on the electric vehicle;
- a communication interface configured to receive remote instructions from a remote controller, wherein the remote controller comprises a gyroscope configured to detect an attitude of the remote controller;
- and
- a central controller configured to operate the at least one electric motorized wheel in a control mode based on at least one of the received remote instructions and the pressure, wherein
- the control mode includes at least one of a posture control mode and a remote control mode, and in the remote control mode, the central controller is further configured to:
- determine whether a heartbeat signal is received from the remote controller within a predetermined period;
- and
- in response to failing to receive the heartbeat signal within the predetermined period, switch from the remote control mode to the posture control mode.
A method for controlling an electric vehicle including at least one electric motorized wheel, comprising:
- detecting pressure on the electric vehicle;
- receiving remote instructions from a remote controller, wherein the remote controller comprises a gyroscope configured to detect an attitude of the remote controller;
- and
- operating the at least one electric motorized wheel in a control mode based on at least one of the received remote instructions and the pressure, wherein
- the control mode includes at least one of a posture control mode and a remote control mode, and in the remote control mode, the method further comprises:
- determining whether a heartbeat signal is received from the remote controller within a predetermined period;
- and
- in response to failing to receive the heartbeat signal within the predetermined period, switching from the remote control mode to the posture control mode.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores a set of instructions, when executed by at least one processor of an electronic device, cause the electronic device to perform a method for controlling an electric vehicle including at least one electric motorized wheel, the method comprising:
- detecting pressure on the electric vehicle;
- receiving remote instructions from a remote controller, wherein the remote controller comprises a gyroscope configured to detect an attitude of the remote controller;
- and
- operating the at least one electric motorized wheel in a control mode based on at least one of the received remote instructions and the pressure, wherein
- the control mode includes at least one of a posture control mode and a remote control mode, and in the remote control mode, the method further comprises:
- determining whether a heartbeat signal is received from the remote controller within a predetermined period;
- and
- in response to failing to receive the heartbeat signal within the predetermined period, switching from the remote control mode to the posture control mode.
