Title:
AUTONOMOUS, GRAVITY-ASSISTED MOTORIZED RACER CONFIGURED TO TRAVEL THROUGH NON-STRAIGHT TUBE SEGMENTS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/079638
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
A vehicle configured to move through a network of interconnected tubes includes a body, a motor, a motorized wheel, a biasing assembly, and a first element. The motorized wheel directly engages an inner surface of the tubes. The biasing assembly causes the motorized wheel to maintain continuous contact with the inner surface of the tubes during operation. A waist of the vehicle is constrained by an inner diameter (D) of the curved tube, a radius of curvature (R) of the curved tube, and a length (L) of the wheelbase of the vehicle. The waist of the body is sized such that the vehicle can freely move within any of the tubes without getting stuck therein.
