All wheel drive robotic vehicle with steering brake

This invention describes a robotic vehicle made of two separate wheeled platforms connected by a central pivot. The vehicle steers by selectively applying an electric brake to this pivot, which either locks the platforms together for straight travel or allows them to rotate relative to each other for turning. This steering action is controlled by the vehicle's internal processing based on turning instructions.

Why it matters: Filed before significant advancements in embedded processing and AI-driven control algorithms. These now simplify implementing precise steering logic for autonomous vehicles, especially for complex terrain navigation.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModerateCustom linkage, electric brake, control software logic.
