Dynamic Vehicle Drifting With Nonlinear MPC and a Fused Kinematic-Dynamic Bicycle Model

In this letter we present a versatile trajectory optimization framework that leverages a fused kinematic-dynamic bicycle model for highly dynamic vehicle drifting maneuvers. Our framework can be used online to generate drifting maneuvers, offline to plan d ...

Evading Voltage-Based Intrusion Detection on Automotive CAN

Mathias Josef Payer, Duo Xu, Rohit Bhatia

The controller area network (CAN) is widely adopted in modern automobiles to enable communications among in-vehicle electronic control units (ECUs). Lacking mainstream network security capabilities due to resource constraints, the CAN is susceptible to the ...

On the Self-Calibration of Aerodynamic Coefficients in Vehicle Dynamic Model-Based Navigation

Jan Skaloud, Gabriel François Laupré

The performance of vehicle dynamic model (VDM)-based navigation largely depends on the accurate determination of aerodynamic coefficients that are unknown a priori. Among different techniques, such as model simulations or experimental analysis in a wind tu ...

Towards biomimetic behavior of an active deployable tensegrity structure

Nicolas Willy Veuve

Tensegrity structures have non-conventional structural properties since they require self-stress in order to be stable. When a tensegrity structure integrates sensors, actuators, (structural members able to change their length) and a control system, deploy ...

A Friction Compensation Control for Power Steering

Philippe Müllhaupt, Robert Fuchs

The effects of friction are critical to the dynamics of electric power steering (EPS). On the one hand, friction contributes to the stability of the system and filters some of the disturbances (road vibration, etc.). On the other hand, it affects negativel ...

Design and Implementation of a Range-Based Formation Controller for Marine Robots

Alcherio Martinoli, Jorge Miguel Dias Almeida Rodrigues Soares

There is considerable worldwide interest in the use of groups of autonomous marine vehicles to carry our challenging mission scenarios, of which marine habitat mapping of complex, non-structured environments is a representative example. Relative positionin ...

Joint ASV/AUV Range-Based Formation Control: Theory and Experimental Results

Alcherio Martinoli, Jorge Miguel Dias Almeida Rodrigues Soares, António Pedro Rodrigues de Aguiar

The use of groups of autonomous marine vehicles has enormous potential in numerous marine applications, perhaps the most relevant of which is the surveying and exploration of the oceans, still widely unknown and misunderstood. In many mission scenarios req ...

Exciton-polariton integrated circuits

Timothy Chi Hin Liew

We show that logical signals encoded in bistable states in semiconductor microcavities can be generated and controlled electronically by exploiting the electrical sensitivity of Tamm-plasmon-exciton-polariton modes. The signals can be transported along pol ...

Influence of the Francis turbine location under vortex rope excitation on the hydraulic system stability

François Avellan, Jean-Jacques Simond, Philippe Allenbach, Christophe Nicolet, Basile Kawkabani, Sébastien Alligné

Hydroelectric power plants are known for their ability to cover variations of the consumption in electrical power networks. In order to follow this changing demand, hydraulic machines are subject to off-design operation. In that case, the swirling flow lea ...

A 1.5g SMA-actuated Microglider looking for the Light

Dario Floreano, André Guignard, Mirko Kovac, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Jean-Daniel Nicoud

Unpowered flight can be used in microrobotics to overcome ground obstacles and to increase the traveling distance per energy unit. In order to explore the potential of goal-directed gliding in the domain of miniature robotics, we developed a 22cm microglid ...

Wheel Torque Control in Rough Terrain - Modeling and Simulation

Roland Siegwart, Pierre Lamon

This paper presents a method for wheel-ground contact angle measurement and a traction control strategy minimizing slip in rough terrain. The slip minimization algorithm has been tested and compared with a standard speed control in simulation, which allows ...
