Introduction
1.1 What is a Ninebot® Robot
Ninebot® Personal Transportation Robot is a new form of electrical balancing
vehicle with some intelligence and robot function. The rider can stand on the
robot to operate it by moving his/her body, or control it by mobile devices like
smartphone. Ninebot boasts the following features:
1.
Being eudipleural, the wheels turn with zero radius, making the robot
moving more flexibly.
2.
During riding, the rider controls the robot with his/her body posture
instead of an accelerator or a brake, thus making it comfortable in
riding and sensitive in reaction.
Thanks to the in-built precision posture sensor, the on-board high-speed CPU
will figure out whether the robot is in balance in the forward and backward
direction at the rate of 200 times per second. If not, the CPU will trigger the quick running of the motors at both sides so as to achieve
balance. The robot can balance itself automatically, so that if the rider stands on it and leans forward, the wheels will move forward; and
the wheels will move backward if the rider takes reverse actions. The rider can also make right turn and left turn just by rotating the
steering bar in the corresponding direction.
The balance of Ninebot® is dependent on the effective work of its high-speed CPU, precision gyroscope and motor. If any of them is in
malfunction, the robot will lose balance. Therefore, a
Hot Backup Redundant Control System
is specifically provided in Ninebot® , that
is, every critical circuit system in the robot is provided with a backup. If any critical module stops working, it will be replaced by its backup,
thus maximizing the safety during riding.
Ninebot has a projected area similar to that of a man with high maneuverability, so it has access to most of the places where walking is
possible, including paths, sidewalks, corridors, rooms and lift/elevators. This makes it a good communication medium falling in between
driving a vehicle and walking. In terms of the riding method and the places Ninebot can reach, riding Ninebot is more like walking than
driving a vehicle. Ninebot is the best choice for you to go somewhere that is either too far for walking or too near for driving a vehicle.
