2. About T-ROBOT

2.1. Characteristics of T-ROBOT

T-ROBOT is an intelligent manned robot operated by means of dynamically stable balance. With such

characteristics as low carbon, environment friendly, fashion, intelligence, sport, leisure and safety, it will be the

preferred travel tool in the future.

The most remarkable characteristic of T-ROBOT is that the function of in-situ steering is achieved. With the help

of T-ROBOT, you can slide to the office every day and wander about the streets freely without worrying about the

problem of being able to turn due to narrow space.

You can sit down or stand up when riding the T-ROBOT, which can meet different needs. The sitting way can

avoid the fatigue caused by long-time manipulation and the standing way can guarantee the wide field of vision and

the great deterrent during security patrol.

The T-ROBOT adopts the fingerprint identification technology which is the most advanced in the industry, greatly

improving its capability of guarding against theft.

The T-ROBOT adopts the most durable lithium-ion battery and runs up to 30km (it will be different depending on

the landforms, riding styles and loads) by each charging; meanwhile its battery requires a low maintenance cost and

provides a long service life.

The T-ROBOT regards safety as the core and adopts the technology of dual redundancy, which means if failure

occurs to a set of controller, the redundant controller will instantly replace the failed controller, ensuring that you enjoy

the funs of riding T-ROBOT safely to the greatest extent.

2.2. Operating Principle

The operating principle of T-ROBOT is mostly based on a fundamental principle called the ‘dynamic stabilization’,

i.e. the own automatic balancing capability of T-ROBOT. After the posture state of vehicle body is obtained with a

built-in precision gyroscope and the proper command is calculated with a high-speed central microprocessor, a motor is

driven to achieve the balancing. It is assumed that the longitudinal axis of general gravity center of the T-ROBOT and

the driver standing on the vehicle is regarded as a reference line. If this axis tilts forward, the built-in electric motor

inside the body of T-ROBOT will generate a forward moment so that the moment leading to forward overturn of person

and car can be balanced on one hand and the speed for moving T-ROBOT forwards can be produced on the other hand.

On the contrary, if the gyroscope detects that the gravity center of driver tilts backward, it will likewise generate a

backward moment to achieve balancing effect. Therefore, as long as the driver changes the angle of his body to tilt

forwards or backwards, T-ROBOT will move forward or backward depending on the tilting direction and its speed will

be proportional to the tilting degree of driver’s body. Such an intelligent balance-maintaining capability of T-ROBOT is

significantly different from the traffic tools which generally require drivers to reach the balance by themselves, such as

scooter.

Note: the maximum running distance after full charging may be influenced by the following factors:

Landform: the smooth and flat surfaces increase the distance, while the upslope and bumpy grounds reduce

the distance;

Wind direction: the downwind increases the distance, while the upwind reduces the distance;

Speed and riding style: the normal speed and intermediate speed increase the distance, while the frequent

startup and shutdown, acceleration and deceleration reduce the distance;

Inflation pressure of tire: the inflation pressure of tire less than the scope given in this manual reduces the

distance; Load (including the rider and the cargo): the light load increases the distance;

Temperature: the storage, charging and riding within the temperature scope recommended in this manual

increase the distance and the distance is reduced under lower temperature;

Battery: the proper storage, charging and maintenance increase the distance, while such improper behaviors

will reduce the distance.

2.4. Operation Limit

It is important for you to understand the operation limits of T-ROBOT. Your following of these limits can reduce

the risks when you are riding T-ROBOT.

2.5. Weight Limit

For the purpose of enhancing your safety when you are riding T-ROBOT and reducing the risk of damaging

T-ROBOT, the weight limits mainly include:

1. Minimum weight limit: the rider must be heavier than 40 Kg mainly because the brake can not be functioning

effectively by moving the gravity center of the rider when his weight is less than 40 Kg (especially on the

downslope);

2. Weight limit for accessory case: the goods loaded in the left and right accessory cases shall not be heavier

than 5 Kg and 3 Kg respectively, and the goods loaded in both accessory cases must be evenly distributed and

fixed to prevent the moving of goods loaded in both accessory cases during the fast running of vehicle;

3. Maximum weight limit: T-ROBOT has passed the strict mechanical analysis and detection and exceeding the

maximum load will damage your T-ROBOT.

Alarm: exceeding these weight limits may influence or reduce your safety coefficient together with other

factors (heavy load, steep slope, bumpy road, high speed and fast mobility) and increase the risk of damaging

T-ROBOT.

exert a slight pressure. Don’t lift both feet off the foot mats.

3. Keep sufficient space between the body and the handle. Don’t tilt your body excessively or lean forward /

back off suddenly so as to prevent T-ROBOT from losing balance, causing crash, rollover or injury (more

attention should be paid for high-speed riding).

4. When braking at a high speed, you can lean your body backwards to adjust the gravity center (relative to the

two wheel axle centerlines) while pressing the auxiliary brake button. You should start riding only after you

have got instruction from others familiar with riding of T-ROBOT and receive braking training and exercises

for several times under a safe environment.

5. When making a steering, turning the handle quickly might cause a quick steering and therefore lead to

unbalance of T-ROBOT, resulting in crash, rollover or injury (more attention should be paid for high-speed

riding). Please slowly turn the handle when steering and lean your body reasonably to keep stable.

6.8.2. Avoid risks

For normal running of T-ROBOT, there must be sufficient friction between the tires and ground. Avoid running on

a bumpy, sludgy, slippery, soft or stony road surface, steep gradient or a stairway to prevent tires from slipping. Under

the above conditions, get off and shut down the vehicle and then push or pull T-ROBOT to a safe area for re-start.

6.8.3. Operation guide

Please perform operations as per the following steps in turn:

1. Push or draw T-ROBOT to a safe area suitable for riding it. Wear a helmet and other protective devices.

2. Check the tire pressure of left and right tires. Please maintain the air pressure of left and right tires to 180KPa.

3. Check the triangle for any shake.

4. Check the left and right knob switches. They shall be set in the neutral position , .

5. T-ROBOT has two startup modes including wireless and fingerprint startup modes. The startup can be

achieved in either of these two modes.

Wireless startup: Press down the startup button on wireless key. When a ‘beep’ sound from T-ROBOT is heard, it

enters into the system setup mode, as shown in Fig. 10. The startup is successful. Please go to Step 6 directly and

follow it. (If no ‘beep’ sound from T-ROBOT is heard, a strong wireless interference may be present in its

surrounding area or the battery power of wireless key may be insufficient. Please restart it or replace the battery.)

Fingerprint startup: Press the startup button and hold for 3 seconds. When a ‘beep’ sound is heard, the following

four operations can be performed:

 If no fingerprint is enrolled in T-ROBOT, the system will directly enter into the system setup mode, as

shown in Fig. 10. Please go to Step 6 directly and follow it.

 If any fingerprint is enrolled in T-ROBOT, the system will perform fingerprint verification. After the

verification is passed, it will enter into the system setup mode, as shown in Fig. 10. Please go to the Step

6 directly and follow it. If the input for fingerprint verification is failed for three times, the system will

automatically shut down.
