A narrow aisle. A precise approach. Move along the counter, then diagonally into place — while your equipment keeps facing the same way.
All four wheels steer in parallel. The platform changes direction without turning its body.
The front wheels steer. The rear wheels stay aligned with the body, taking a wider arc around the island.
The rear wheels steer against the front wheels. The platform follows a smaller turning radius, bringing the U-turn closer.
Advance to the junction. Turn 90° in place and cross the workspace. Turn another 120°, then continue into the next aisle.
Four driven, steerable wheels align around the platform’s centre. The body rotates on the spot, then moves forward on its new heading.

Each wheel follows the tangent around the centre.
Now compare the steering. Standard turns the front wheels. Premium adds rear counter-steering, opening a more compact route to the same destination.
Front steering needs more room in this route. The rear wheels stay parallel to the body as the platform follows the wider approach.
Rear wheels turn against the front, bringing the turn closer. At the same travel speed, less distance means an earlier arrival.
Same start. Same destination. Same travel speed.
Illustrative routes at the same scale and platform travel speed, with a shared destination and a 30° front steering limit. Route lengths refer to this demonstration; they are not measured product performance. The turning-space view shows each platform's swept envelope.
Vector Platform is the powered base without a seat, for robotics and custom equipment. Vector Chair adds a seat and joystick control for a personal mobility concept. Both are planned in Core, Plus and Max, giving each application a choice of movement capabilities. We are seeking development partners, sponsors, investors and contributors.
Choose a standalone base or a seated concept. Explore three levels of movement, then see Vector Chair in Space Black or Dark Cherry.
Choose the standalone platform or the complete seated configuration. Each comes in Core, Plus and Max.
A seated personal mobility concept, with joystick control.
The full Vector configuration. Four driven and steerable wheels combine Vehicle Premium, Crab Walk and Spin for control over both position and heading.
Front and rear wheels steer in opposite directions. On a right turn, the front steers right and the rear left, reducing the turning arc versus front-only steering.
Move sideways or diagonally while keeping the same heading. Align beside a desk or reposition equipment while keeping it facing the same direction.
Turn about the centre of the base to face a new direction while staying in the same position. Available on Max.
Basic and Premium describe Vehicle steering. The model levels are Core, Plus and Max.
In development. Product enquiries are open; sales and pre-orders are not available.
Crab Walk lets Plus and Max approach a position from the side. Stay facing a desk, a person or a camera subject as the base shifts across.
On Plus and Max, the rear wheels steer opposite the front. This reduces the turning radius compared with the front-only steering principle used by Core.
The same motion architecture supports a seated concept, a robotic base or custom equipment. Choose the application and the level of movement it needs.

Custom equipment and integration requirements can be explored with development and industrial partners.
Start with the movement you need. Core provides Vehicle Basic. Plus adds Crab Walk and Vehicle Premium. Max adds four-wheel drive and Spin. Choose Platform or Chair independently.
Right turn shown: Core keeps fixed rear angles; Plus and Max steer the rear wheels opposite the front.

Vector brings lateral positioning, front / rear counter-steering and a modular base into one product family. Crab Walk on Plus and Max lets you shift sideways while continuing to face a desk or person. Premium steering uses opposing rear wheel angles to reduce the turning radius compared with front-only steering. Max adds Spin and four-wheel drive. The intended benefit is control over both position and heading; final suitability depends on the confirmed dimensions, performance and testing.
Platform is the standalone base without a seat. Chair is the seated configuration. Both are planned in Core, Plus and Max; the level determines drive, steering and movement capabilities.
The supplied images are concept renders and the room demonstrations are explanatory illustrations. Real prototype images and test evidence will be presented separately when supplied.
Pricing, speed, range, payload and dimensions have not been confirmed for publication. They will be added when supported by the development programme.

The conventional example is a generic differential-drive powerchair with fixed drive-wheel directions and swivel casters. It can move forward, reverse, follow curves and pivot. It cannot translate directly sideways while retaining its body heading in this model. Wheelchairs use different architectures; this example is not a claim about every wheelchair.
Core versus Premium compares steering within the Vector family. Both drawings use the same illustrative footprint. Room geometry, sequences and generated backgrounds explain control principles; they are not measured dimensions, elapsed-time comparisons or prototype test evidence. The supplied Vector top view represents the motion base shared by Platform and Chair.
