About T-ROBOT
2.1.
Characteristics of T-ROBOT
T-ROBOT is an intelligent manned robot operated by means of dynamically stable balance. With such
characteristics as low carbon, environment friendly, fashion, intelligence, sport, leisure and safety, it will be the
preferred travel tool in the future.
The most remarkable characteristic of T-ROBOT is that the function of in-situ steering is achieved. With the help
of T-ROBOT, you can slide to the office every day and wander about the streets freely without worrying about the
problem of being able to turn due to narrow space.
You can sit down or stand up when riding the T-ROBOT, which can meet different needs. The sitting way can
avoid the fatigue caused by long-time manipulation and the standing way can guarantee the wide field of vision and
the great deterrent during security patrol.
The T-ROBOT adopts the fingerprint identification technology which is the most advanced in the industry, greatly
improving its capability of guarding against theft.
The T-ROBOT adopts the most durable lithium-ion battery and runs up to 30km (it will be different depending on
the landforms, riding styles and loads) by each charging; meanwhile its battery requires a low maintenance cost and
provides a long service life.
The T-ROBOT regards safety as the core and adopts the technology of dual redundancy, which means if failure
occurs to a set of controller, the redundant controller will instantly replace the failed controller, ensuring that you enjoy
the funs of riding T-ROBOT safely to the greatest extent.

Operating Principle
The operating principle of T-ROBOT is mostly based on a fundamental principle called the ‘dynamic stabilization’,
i.e. the own automatic balancing capability of T-ROBOT. After the posture state of vehicle body is obtained with a
built-in precision gyroscope and the proper command is calculated with a high-speed central microprocessor, a motor is
driven to achieve the balancing. It is assumed that the longitudinal axis of general gravity center of the T-ROBOT and
the driver standing on the vehicle is regarded as a reference line. If this axis tilts forward, the built-in electric motor
inside the body of T-ROBOT will generate a forward moment so that the moment leading to forward overturn of person
and car can be balanced on one hand and the speed for moving T-ROBOT forwards can be produced on the other hand.
On the contrary, if the gyroscope detects that the gravity center of driver tilts backward, it will likewise generate a
backward moment to achieve balancing effect. Therefore, as long as the driver changes the angle of his body to tilt
forwards or backwards, T-ROBOT will move forward or backward depending on the tilting direction and its speed will
be proportional to the tilting degree of driver’s body. Such an intelligent balance-maintaining capability of T-ROBOT is
significantly different from the traffic tools which generally require drivers to reach the balance by themselves, such as
scooter.
