Abstract

In some embodiments, a computer-implemented method for measuring motion values associated with movements of an object as the objects drives along a track comprises: receiving, using a wireless network transceiver, experiment instructions for performing an experiment; generating, based on the experiment instructions, driving instructions for causing the object to drive along the track; executing the driving instructions to cause the object to drive along the track; as the object is driving along the track: receiving, from one or more sensors, motion values associated with the movements of the object as the object drives along the track; transmitting, using the wireless network transceiver, the motion values associated with the movements of the object to one or more user devices to cause a user device, from the one or more user devices, to generate and display a graphical representation of the motion values on a display device of the user device.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A sensor device integrated in an object, the sensor device comprising:

one or more processors;
one or more sensors coupled to the one or more processors and configured to capture motion values associated with movements of the object as the objects drives along a track;
a wireless network transceiver coupled to the one or more processors;
a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium coupled to the one or more processors and storing one or more sequences of instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform:
receiving, using the wireless network transceiver, one or more experiment instructions for performing an experiment;
generating, based on the one or more experiment instructions, one or more driving instructions for causing the object to drive along the track;
executing the one or more driving instructions to cause the object to drive along the track;
as the object is driving along the track:
receiving, from the one or more sensors, the motion values associated with the movements of the object as the object is driving along the track;
transmitting, using the wireless network transceiver, the motion values associated with the movements of the object to one or more user devices;
and
wherein transmitting the motion values to the one or more user devices causes a user device, from the one or more user devices, to generate a graphical representation of the motion values and display the graphical representation on a display device of the user device.

9 more elements

A method for measuring motion-related values associated with movements of an object as the objects drives along a track, the method comprising:

receiving, using a wireless network transceiver, one or more experiment instructions for performing an experiment;
generating, based on the one or more experiment instructions, one or more driving instructions for causing an object to drive along a track;
executing the one or more driving instructions to cause the object to drive along the track;
as the object is driving along the track:
receiving, from the one or more sensors, the motion values associated with the movements of the object as the object is driving along the track;
transmitting, using the wireless network transceiver, the motion values associated with the movements of the object to one or more user devices;
and
wherein transmitting the motion values to the one or more user devices causes a user device, from the one or more user devices, to generate a graphical representation of the motion values and display the graphical representation on a display device of the user device.

5 more elements

One or more non-transitory computer readable storage media storing one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform:

receiving, using a wireless network transceiver, one or more experiment instructions for performing an experiment;
generating, based on the one or more experiment instructions, one or more driving instructions for causing an object to drive along a track;
executing the one or more driving instructions to cause the object to drive along the track;
as the object is driving along the track:
receiving, from the one or more sensors, the motion values associated with the movements of the object as the object is driving along the track;
transmitting, using the wireless network transceiver, the motion values associated with the movements of the object to one or more user devices;
and
wherein transmitting the motion values to the one or more user devices causes a user device, from the one or more user devices, to generate a graphical representation of the motion values and display the graphical representation on a display device of the user device.
