A personal mobility device, comprising: a robotic arm mechanically coupled to the personal mobility device and having a grasping device disposed at a distal end thereof; a single input device mechanically coupled to the personal mobility device and having a hand grip operable by a user to move in a plurality of orthogonal directions; a trigger disposed on the hand grip so as to be physically displaceable by the user, where a position of the grasping device is controlled in accordance with a physical displacement of said trigger; at least one sensor configured to measure movement of the hand grip in a plurality of orthogonal directions; a control unit responsive to a plurality of sensor signals produced by the at least one sensor for generating output control signals configured to control movement, the control unit operable to implement at least two states comprising: a first state in which the output control signals are configured to exclusively control a motion of a motorized vehicle base portion of the personal mobility device; and a second state in which the output control signals are configured to exclusively control a motion of the robotic arm attached to the personal mobility device; and a user actuated sensor disposed on said hand grip and electrically coupled to the control unit, wherein the control unit is configured to transition between at least the first state and the second state in response to a user actuation of said user actuated sensor. a robotic arm mechanically coupled to the personal mobility device and having a grasping device disposed at a distal end thereof; a single input device mechanically coupled to the personal mobility device and having a hand grip operable by a user to move in a plurality of orthogonal directions; a trigger disposed on the hand grip so as to be physically displaceable by the user, where a position of the grasping device is controlled in accordance with a physical displacement of said trigger; at least one sensor configured to measure movement of the hand grip in a plurality of orthogonal directions; a control unit responsive to a plurality of sensor signals produced by the at least one sensor for generating output control signals configured to control movement, the control unit operable to implement at least two states comprising: a first state in which the output control signals are configured to exclusively control a motion of a motorized vehicle base portion of the personal mobility device; and a second state in which the output control signals are configured to exclusively control a motion of the robotic arm attached to the personal mobility device; and a first state in which the output control signals are configured to exclusively control a motion of a motorized vehicle base portion of the personal mobility device; and a second state in which the output control signals are configured to exclusively control a motion of the robotic arm attached to the personal mobility device; and a user actuated sensor disposed on said hand grip and electrically coupled to the control unit, wherein the control unit is configured to transition between at least the first state and the second state in response to a user actuation of said user actuated sensor.
