Abstract:

A vehicle platform with positioning and guiding mechanisms and having a single wheel. A frame extends from the vehicle with a receptacle connected to the frame, and a motor drives the vehicle forward and rearward. A head appendage is mounted to the receptacle to yaw left and right, pitch up and down, and roll from side to side to guide the vehicle. Another motor provides for positioning the appendage to roll, with an additional motor for positioning the head to pitch and yaw. A pair of left and right rims is disposed adjacent to the wheel for limiting lean of the vehicle platform, and a control system is incorporated.
