Innovations in Autonomous Skateboard Technologies

Motorized skate with multiple wheels, motors, and communication devices on each skate plate. A controller manages the skates by communicating with the devices on each plate. This allows synchronized acceleration, deceleration, and speed maintenance across the skates. It enables easier long-distance commuting, uphill climbing, and downhill riding compared to regular skates.

Motor control and regulating device that permits a higher degree of freedom of movement and safety for the rider, that has a lighter weight and that absorbs the laterally acting forces and amplifies those forces influencing the speed. The device includes a sensor system for detection of forces acting sideways on the skateboard or longboard relative to the travel direction, a sensor system for control of the rpm of an electric motor, a sensor system for measurement of rpm and direction of rotation of non-driven passive rollers of the skateboard or longboard, a sensor for detection of the turning angle of the skateboard or longboard in relationship to the travel direction and an electronic data processor with an integrated controller, which controls the rpm and direction of rotation of the electric motor by processing of the signals received by the sensors systems.

Intelligent, motorized roller skates that automatically adjust the motor torque based on sensor inputs to mimic natural skating movements. The skates have load sensors on the foot platforms to detect forces applied by the rider. A controller uses this data along with other sensors like motion sensors and angular rate sensors to determine the optimal motor torque for each skate. This allows the skates to assist during certain skating actions and resist motion during others, providing a more natural and intuitive skating experience compared to fixed motor power. The skates also have features like freewheeling when not actively skating and resisting reverse motion. The controller can operate in skating mode where it generates additional torque during push motions, and adjust parameters during pushes. The skates can also have upper body motion sensors for more advanced control.

An electric skateboard that provides autonomous control when instructed by a remote user interface. The skateboard has sensors like cameras, LIDAR, and GPS, and employs path-planning algorithms to let it navigate without user guidance. It can follow waypoints set remotely to autonomously travel paths. The skateboard can switch between manual and autonomous modes using a smartphone app or similar.

Electric skateboard that can be switched quickly and easily between a street setup and an all-terrain setup. The skateboard includes a deck, a front truck and a rear truck attached to the deck, and a pair of wheels 22 or 24 rotatably connected to each truck.

A powered skateboard with an integrated electric motor and battery instead of separate add-ons. The skateboard has a deck with a cavity between the top and bottom portions to house the motor and battery components. This provides a cleaner, more integrated design compared to attaching external motors to the underside of the deck.

Self-stabilizing electric skateboard with improved controls and indicators. It uses a tiltable board and an electric hub motor to balance itself and move in response to the board's orientation. The motor controller adjusts motor parameters to weaken balancing and shut off when the board tilts backward, allowing easy dismounting. The controller also manipulates motor flux to reduce back EMF during regenerative braking when the battery is full, preventing overvoltage damage.

An electric skateboard that reduces the risk of injury to a rider. The skateboard includes a strain gauge sensor, an inertial sensor to sense accelerations and balance position, and a traction controller to sense the wheel speeds and adjust drive motor torque to keep the wheel rotational velocities relatively similar.

A powered skateboard with advanced control features like automatic acceleration, automatic braking, speed sensing, weight distribution sensing, and exercise mode sensing. The skateboard has a motor, sensors, and a controller to detect user inputs like weight distribution, foot placement, and exercise mode. The controller uses this data to intelligently adjust motor power and torque for optimized acceleration, braking, and speed control based on user actions.

Electric skateboard that allows hands-free control using motion sensors in the wheels. The skateboard has strain gauge sensors on the suspension trucks to detect weight and angle. The sensors generate signals representing board tilt and rider weight. A control logic processes these signals to determine the skateboard's intended motion, like accelerating or turning. This allows riders to control the skateboard without a separate remote, as the board's motion itself provides input.

A self-propelled skateboard that changes direction with a user's foot movement instead of kicking the ground. The skateboard has a center rotation portion for turning and two footrest portions on either side of the center. The user moves their feet back and forth on the footrests to propel the skateboard.

Flying skateboard that can be applied to the fields of entertainment, traffic, military etc. The flying skateboard includes a bearing part and power parts, and two orthogonal bearing areas are connected with the bearing part and arranged on the surface of the left foot bearing area and the right foot bearing area.
