Estimation of electropneumatic clutch actuator load characteristics

This paper propose a dynamic model of an electropneumatic clutch actuator system for heavy duty trucks. The focus is set on modeling of the clutch load characteristic which should be parameter affine, and the main purpose of the modeling task in this paper is to prepare for on-line adaption of this load characteristics. The knowledge of the clutch load characteristic is important for being able...

Nonlinear Passivity Based Control Law with Application to Electropneumatic System

This paper presents a synthesis of a nonlinear controller to an electropneumatic system. Nonlinear passivity based control law is applied to the system under consideration. First, the nonlinear model of the electropneumatic system is presented. It is transformed to be a nonlinear affine model and a coordinate transformation is then making possible the implantation of the nonlinear controller. A...

A Study on Trust in a Robotic Suitcase

This work presents a study on human-robot interaction between a prototype of a robotic suitcase – aBag – and people using it. Importantly, for an autonomous robotic suitcase to be successful as a product, people need to trust it. Therefore, a study was performed, where participants used aBag (remotely operated using the Wizard of Oz technique) for carrying their belongings. Two different condit...

The Fluency Pronunciation Trainer

In this article we describe the basis of the Fluency project for foreign language pronunciation training using automatic speech recognition. We describe the theoretical base, the interactive duration correction module, and our work toward adaptation to the way in which the user learns best. We show results in preliminary tests of the latter, and discuss future directions of the project.
