Adaptive Control of Electrohydraulic Steering System for Wheel-Type Agricultural Tractors

This paper presents an adaptive steering controller for achieving consistent, sensitive, and accurate steering control with noisy and drifting control signals on an automated agricultural tractor. Conventional model-based PID controller is difficult to solve this problem because of too many disturbances and unknown factors. The authors have developed an adaptive steering controller consisting o...

Steering mechanism of fish schools

The steering mechanism of fish schools was analysed by using an analytical model and computer simulation. The analytical model is based on fundamental behavioural rules such as attraction, parallel-orientation, and repulsion. Multiple individuals following the same rules interact with each other and thus realize school movements. The results show that when the school advances, unstable movement...

Kinematic Synthesis of a Trailing Six-member Mechanism for Automotive Steering

Kinematic synthesis of a trailing six-member mechanism has been carried out to achieve five precision points of an automotive steering mechanism. The inner wheel can be rotated up to forty five degrees with fair accuracy. Results show that the divergent end behavior of Ackermann Steering Mechanism has been overcome by the present mechanism. The work is similar to earlier work by the present ...

A steering mechanism for phototaxis in Chlamydomonas.

Chlamydomonas shows both positive and negative phototaxis. It has a single eyespot near its equator, and as the cell rotates during the forward motion, the light signal received by the eyespot varies. We use a simple mechanical model of Chlamydomonas that couples the flagellar beat pattern to the light intensity at the eyespot to demonstrate a mechanism for phototactic steering that is consiste...
