Abstract

An Intelligent Terrain-Traversing Vehicle with a platform (100) capable of securely holding a chair (C,300) mounted there above; attached to the platform (100), a pair of parallel platform tracks (112) respectively tracked on platform internal multi-wheel bearing assemblies (113); a front track (122) respectively tracked on second internal multi-wheel bearing assemblies (123); a rear track (132) respectively tracked on rear internal multi-wheel bearing assemblies (133); at least one tracks motor (140) interconnected via a controllable transmission (TT) to at least one wheel in each of the first assemblies; a controller (150) capable of independent coordination of rotary force from the at least one tracks motor (140) respectively to the at least one wheel in each of the platform assemblies; and means (142F, 142R) for bringing the forward/rearward tracks into contact with a terrain substantially contiguously under the pair of tracks.
