Systems, devices, and methods including a stand-up wheel chair having automatic stability control

A stand-up wheelchair, comprising:

• a stand-up assembly having an articulated structure movable between a sitting configuration, a kneeling configuration, a reaching configuration, a leaning configuration, or a standing configuration and a different one of a sitting configuration, a kneeling configuration, a reaching configuration, a leaning configuration, or a standing configuration;
• a plurality of rotatable members operable to frictionally interface the stand-up wheelchair to a travel surface and to move the stand-up wheelchair along the travel surface;
• a travel route module operable to acquire travel-route status information;
• and
• a stabilization assembly having a plurality of flywheels operable to apply a righting torque along one or more of a transverse axis, a longitudinal axis, a vertical axis of the stand-up wheelchair, or combinations thereof.

A stand-up wheelchair system, comprising:

• circuitry for actuating a stand-up assembly configured to support a passenger transitioning from a sitting configuration to a standing configuration;
• circuitry for acquiring travel-route status information;
• and
• circuitry for actuating a gyroscopic stabilization assembly having at least one gyroscope operable to apply a righting torque along one or more of a transverse axis, a longitudinal axis, and a vertical axis of the stand-up wheelchair responsive to changes in a stand-up wheelchair vertical center of mass location.
