Gyro seat and vehicle including the same

Abstract

The invention provides a gyro seat which includes: a seat body comprising a seat cushion and a seat back coupled to the seat cushion; and a seat gyroscope mounted to the seat body, the seat gyroscopecompensating a movement of the seat body by control of first, second and third axes, where the first axis corresponds to a yaw of the seat body as a z axis of an xyz coordinate system, the second axiscorresponds to a pitch of the seat body as an x axis of the xyz coordinate system, and the third axis corresponds to a roll of the seat body as a y axis of the xyz coordinate system.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority from Korean Patent Application No. 10-2017-0060602 filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on May 16, 2017, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to a seat, and more particularly, to a vehicle having a swivel seat that does not reduce driver convenience in an autonomous driving mode. Background technique [0004] Recently, autonomous driving technologies for vehicles are being used more and more widely because they provide convenience to drivers without direct driving. [0005] Furthermore, regarding the driver's convenience provided by autonomous driving vehicles, autonomous driving allows the driver to read books, watch movies, put on makeup, play games, use hand-held phones, etc., which the driver cannot perform in the hands-on driving mode. [0006] Therefore, autonomous vehicles are bein...

Problems solved by technology

[0007] However, autonomous vehicles may also have the opposite effect of reducing driver convenience

[0008] As an example, the opposite effect could lead to severe motion sickness for passengers (i.e., driver and passenger) in autonomous driving mode due to no hands-on driving, where the driver is even immersed in an anomalous behavior, and thus has no connection to the hands-on driving. Different driving modes make the balance, reaction and vision of the human body different

Specifically, behavioral tendencies of passengers (i.e., driver and passenger) driving an autonomous vehicle (such as reading books, sending text messages from handheld phones, watching TV and movies, playing games, etc.) are prone to motion sickness, and thus cause motion sickness phenomenon is becoming a problem that must be improved
