A group of wind sensitive filiform hair receptors on the locust thorax and head makes contact onto a pair of identified interneuron, A4I1. The hair receptors' central nervous projections exhibit pronounced structural dynamics during nymphal development, for example, by gradually eliminating their ipsilateral dendritic field while maintaining the contralateral one. These changes are dependent no...

Abstract— The main objective of this paper is the reconstruction of lateral dynamics and both roll angle and steering torque of single track vehicles (motorcycle, scooter, etc.). For that purpose, the well-known motorcycle model developed by Sharp in 1971 is used. This model characterizes the lateral dynamics of a motorcycle [16]. The roll angle is not observable in the obtained structure, for ...

We propose a torque overlay based robust steering wheel angle control of electric power steering (EPS) for lateral control using backstepping design. The main contribution of this paper is that the proposed method is designed based on torque overlay and that the global uniform ultimate boundedness of the steering wheel angle tracking error is guaranteed using only steering wheel angle feedback ...

A recent study sheds new light on the visual cues used by Drosophila to regulate flight altitude. The striking similarity with previously identified steering mechanisms provides a coherent basis for novel models of vision-based flight control in insects and robots.

This paper evaluates EPS control strategies for improving vehicle handling and steering feel during high speed avoidance maneuver. Theoretical analysis of frequency response of steering angle and vehicle lateral acceleration relative to steering torque input is performed. Closed-loop simulation studies are also conducted by adopting a driver model to describe the human steering behavior. Based ...
