发明名称 Self-propelled device with actively engaged drive system
摘要 A self-propelled device is provided including a drive system, a spherical housing, and a biasing mechanism. The drive system includes one or more motors that are contained within the spherical housing. The biasing mechanism actively forces the drive system to continuously engage an interior of the spherical housing in order to cause the spherical housing to move.

主权项 1. A self-propelled device comprising: a drive system comprising one or more motors and one or more wheels; a spherical housing that contains the drive system; a support structure coupled to the drive system to cause the one or more wheels to continuously engage an inner surface of the spherical housing and cause the spherical housing to move; a wireless communication port that receives control commands based on a number of two-dimensional control inputs on a controller device; and an internal controller to implement the control commands on the drive system as three-dimensional rotational commands to maneuver the self-propelled device.
