Steering behaviors are a set of motion based reactive procedures used for navigating autonomous agents in their environment. Combinations of steering behaviors can be used to create complex behaviors. One problem inherent to existing approaches to arbitrating between single behaviors is that their combination may lead to suboptimal, undesired, or even catastrophic results in certain situations....

Steer-by-wire (SBW) systems, which have no mechanical linkage between the steering wheel and front wheels, are expected to improve vehicle safety through better steering capability. SBW system failures, however, can cause hazardous driving situations. This paper introduces fault-tolerant architecture based on diversified steering mechanisms consisting of SBW backed up with steering by braking a...

This paper deals with the optimization analysis of Steering Rack. Steering Rack Bending CAE analysis technology is indispensable for developing and mass-producing the Steering Gear assembly. By using Finite Element method, a stress analysis has been carried out. Steering Rack Deflection and Bending stresses are found. Various CAE iterations shows rack weight reduction by keeping Stress constant...

Electric Power Steering (EPS) is a full electric system which reduces the amount of steering effort by directly applying the output from an electric motor to the steering system and has attracted much attention for their advantages. Controller design and software development of EPS is one of the key technologies that are critical to the system’s design. The constitutions and its operational mec...

In this work, we design and study a highly sensitive beam steering device that integrates a spiral plasmonic antenna with a subwavelength metallic waveguide. The short effective wavelength of the surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) mode supported by the metallic waveguide is exploited to dramatically miniaturize the device and improve the sensitivity of the beam steering. Through introducing a ti...

Steering a car through traffic is a complex task that is difficult to cast into algorithms. Therefore, researchers turn to training artificial neural networks from front-facing camera data stream along with the associated steering angles. Nevertheless, most existing solutions consider only the visual camera frames as input, thus ignoring the temporal relationship between frames. In this work, w...

in this paper a new guidance technique for ballistic missiles and launch vehicles is proposed. generally the lambert guidance is used to generate missile nominal (correlated) parameters through powered flight to put it in a ballistic flight path. because of uncertainties and undesired factors, the nominal position and velocity obtained by lambert technique need to be followed in actual flight. ...

In the current study, we examine eye movements of human operators during a combined steering and discrimination task. In this task, observers had to alternate their gaze between a central steering task and a discrimination task in the periphery. Our results show that the observer’s gaze behavior is influenced by the motion direction of the steering task. Saccade reaction times (SRTs) of saccade...

A novel subspace projection approach was proposed to improve the robustness of adaptive beamforming and direction finding algorithms. The cost function of the signal subspace scaled multiple signal classification (SSMUSIC) is minimized in the uncertainty set of the signal steering vector, the optimal solution to the optimization problem is that the assumed steering vector can be modified as the...
