Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A self-controlled device maintains a frame of reference about an x-, y- and z-axis. The self-controlled device processes an input to control the self-propelled device, the input being based on the x- and y-axis. The self-propelled device is controlled in its movement, including about each of the x-, y- and z-axis, based on the input.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for operating a self-propelled device comprising an internal drive system, the method comprising: using processing resources of the self-propelled device to perform steps comprising: maintaining, on the self-propelled device, an initial frame of reference that rotates about each of an x-axis, a y-axis, and a z-axis as the self-propelled device moves; receiving, from a two-dimensional steering mechanism of a controller device, a two-dimensional i…
