Today We learn new about Scooters & Bicycle

Scooters

A scooter is a two-wheeled (sometimes three-wheeled) vehicle typically powered by a motor or human effort. They are designed for urban mobility, known for their compact size and ease of use. Scooters can be categorized into motorized scooters (e.g., Vespa, e-scooters) and kick scooters (manually propelled).

History of Scooters

  1. Early Kick Scooters (19th Century):

    • Early scooters were manually powered, made from wood or metal, and often used by children for fun.
    • They lacked the sophisticated designs we see today.

  2. Motorized Scooters (20th Century):

    • 1915: The Autoped in the U.S. is one of the first motorized scooters, featuring a small engine.
    • 1946: Vespa, an iconic Italian brand, revolutionized scooters by making them stylish and practical for city travel.
    • Post-War Boom: Scooters became popular in Europe and Asia due to their affordability and efficiency.

  3. Modern Electric Scooters (21st Century):

    • Companies like Bird, Lime, and Xiaomi introduced electric scooters for shared urban transportation.
    • Lightweight, battery-powered, and eco-friendly, e-scooters gained global popularity for short-distance travel.

Bicycles

A bicycle is a human-powered or motor-assisted vehicle with two wheels aligned in tandem. It's one of the most efficient and widespread forms of transportation globally.

History of Bicycles

  1. Pre-Bicycle Era (Early Concepts):

    • 1817: Baron Karl von Drais invented the Draisine or Laufmaschine, a wooden two-wheeled vehicle propelled by the rider pushing with their feet on the ground.
    • Known as the "hobby horse," this precursor lacked pedals.

  2. Velocipede (1860s):

    • The Velocipede, also called the "bone-shaker," featured pedals attached to the front wheel.
    • Made of metal and wood, it was heavy and uncomfortable to ride.

  3. Penny-Farthing (1870s):

    • Large front wheel and small rear wheel design.
    • Offered speed but was challenging to mount and risky to ride due to its height.

  4. The Safety Bicycle (1885):

    • John Kemp Starley introduced the Rover Safety Bicycle, featuring two equally sized wheels and a chain-driven rear wheel.
    • This design is the prototype for modern bicycles.

  5. 20th Century Advancements:

    • Introduction of gears, pneumatic tires, lightweight materials, and suspension systems.
    • Bicycles became essential for commuting, recreation, and sports.

  6. Modern Era (21st Century):

    • Innovations include electric bicycles (e-bikes), foldable bikes, and bicycles made of carbon fiber.
    • Integration with smartphone apps for fitness tracking and navigation.

BUT NOW IT'S DIFFERENT ✌💤💤💤💤


What is Self-driving scooters & bicycles?

Self-driving scooters and bicycles are advanced mobility devices equipped with autonomous technology that allows them to navigate without human intervention. They use a combination of sensors, cameras, AI, and connectivity to detect their surroundings, make decisions, and safely operate in various environments.

History

1. Early Concepts and Inspiration (Pre-2000s)

  • Autonomous Vehicle Research:
    The development of autonomous cars and robots in the 1980s and 1990s laid the groundwork for self-driving personal mobility solutions. Early robots, like Stanford's Cart in the 1970s, showcased basic self-navigation capabilities.

  • Human-Powered Vehicles:
    Traditional scooters and bicycles were seen as affordable, eco-friendly options, but automation ideas for such vehicles remained limited due to technological constraints.

2. Rise of Electric Mobility (2000s)

  • E-Scooters and E-Bikes:
    The introduction of electric scooters and bicycles provided a platform for experimentation with automation, as they included battery-powered motors, which were essential for self-driving systems.

  • Technological Convergence:
    Developments in GPS, wireless communication, and compact sensors began making autonomous features feasible for smaller vehicles.

3. First Autonomous Bicycles (2010-2015)

  • Google Self-Driving Bicycle (2012):
    A concept bicycle featuring autonomous balancing and self-navigation systems was developed as part of a research project, showcasing the potential of autonomous two-wheelers.

  • University Research Projects:
    Universities worldwide experimented with autonomous bicycles, often focusing on balancing mechanisms and obstacle avoidance using low-cost sensors.

4. Emergence of Autonomous Scooters (2015-2020)

  • Kick Scooters with Navigation Features:
    Companies like Segway and Xiaomi integrated semi-autonomous features, such as self-parking and remote control, into their e-scooters.

  • Shared Mobility Boom:
    Ride-sharing companies (e.g., Lime, Bird) explored autonomous scooters for fleet management, allowing scooters to return to docking stations or reposition themselves autonomously.

  • First Autonomous Scooter by Tortoise (2020):
    The company introduced a semi-autonomous scooter that could be remotely operated to reposition itself for user pickup or charging.

5. Modern Innovations (2020-Present)

  • Advanced Self-Balancing Bicycles:
    Companies like Xiaomi and engineers at Tsinghua University in China developed bicycles with AI-powered self-balancing systems, making them fully autonomous. These bicycles use gyroscopes, sensors, and machine learning for navigation.

  • Fleet Management for Urban Mobility:
    Startups began piloting self-driving scooters and bicycles for last-mile delivery and shared urban mobility services. Vehicles equipped with lidar, cameras, and GPS can navigate crowded urban environments autonomously.

  • AI Integration:
    Machine learning and AI technologies have significantly improved the decision-making capabilities of these vehicles, enabling safer and more efficient rides.

What is the Inside of Technology?

Sensors: Lidar, cameras, ultrasonic sensors, etc...
AI & Machine Learning: For object detection, path planning, and behavior prediction.

What is the Self-Balancing Mechanisms?

Now I write this Feature, Why Because This is Main One, In the Autonomous Car Side Only Predict The Future Events and Elements but In the bicycle needs stability. Because 2wheels only have...

Self-balancing mechanisms enable two-wheeled vehicles like bikes, scooters, and bicycles to stay upright and stable, even when stationary or at low speeds. These mechanisms use gyroscopic technology, accelerometers, and control algorithms to achieve balance dynamically.

1. How Self-Balancing Works: Simple Explanation

  1. Sensors Detect Tilt or Movement
    Sensors like gyroscopes and accelerometers measure how much the vehicle is leaning or tilting.

  2. Processor Calculates Correction
    A computer processes the sensor data to determine how to adjust the vehicle’s position to maintain balance.

  3. Actuators Make Adjustments
    Motors or actuators in the wheels or steering adjust the tilt or wheel rotation to counteract the lean.

2. Key Components of Self-Balancing Mechanisms

Gyroscope (Core Mechanism)

  • Measures angular velocity (how fast the vehicle is tilting).
  • Stabilizes the vehicle by generating torque in the opposite direction of the tilt (gyroscopic precession).

Accelerometers

  • Measure acceleration and the angle of tilt.
  • Work with gyroscopes for precise data.

Control System (Brain)

  • Uses data from sensors to calculate corrective actions.
  • Implements control algorithms like PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) for smooth adjustments.

Motors and Actuators

  • Adjust the wheel's speed or steering angle to maintain balance.

3. Real-World Technologies Used

  • Gyroscopic Stabilizers:
    Example: Honda's Riding Assist motorcycle uses a moving gyroscope for balance.

  • Reaction Wheels:
    A spinning internal wheel generates torque to counteract tilting.

  • Active Steering Systems:
    Tiny steering adjustments keep the bike upright.

  • Machine Learning Algorithms:
    AI helps predict tilt patterns and enhances control precision.
