2. 21. Model-Based Design and Virtual Testing of Steer-by-Wire Systems

   Author : Marcus Irmer; Margot Ruschitzka; Karin Thomas; Hermann Henrichfreise; Thorsten Brandt; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; mechatronic systems; vehicle dynamic systems; steer-by-wire systems; modeling; model reduction; optimal control theory; robust controller synthesis; robustness analysis;

   Abstract : Driven by the need for automation and autonomy as well as the need to reduce resources and emissions, the automotive industry is currently undergoing a major transformation. Technologically, this transformation is addressing a wide range of challenges and opportunities. READ MORE

4. 22. A Helping Hand : On Innovations for Rehabilitation and Assistive Technology

   Author : Mats Nilsson; Hans von Holst; Metin Akay; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hand function; Mechatronic system; Orthose; Neurological rehabilitation; Brain-Computer Interface; Functional Electric Stimulation;

   Abstract : This thesis focuses on assistive and rehabilitation technology for restoring the function of the hand. It presents three different approaches to assistive technology: one in the form of an orthosis, one in the form of a brain-computer interface combined with functional electrical stimulation and finally one totally aiming at rehabilitating the nervous system by restoring brain function using the concept of neuroplasticity.

5. 23. Virtual prototyping of vehicular electric steering assistance system using co-simulations

   Author : Weitao Chen; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; coupling method; explicit parallel co-simulation; HIL simulation; interface algorithm.; Vehicle and mechatronic system;

   Abstract : Virtual prototyping is a practical necessity in vehicle system development. From desktop simulation to track testing, several simulation approaches, such as co-simulation and hardware-in-loop (HIL) simulation, are used. However, due to interfacing problems, the consistency of testing results may not be ensured. READ MORE

6. 24. On design methods for mechatronics : servo motor and gearhead

   Author : Fredrik Roos; Jan Wikander; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Applied mechanics; mechatronics design methodology; servo systems; electric motors; gears; auxiliary systems; Teknisk mekanik; Engineering mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

   Abstract : The number of electric powered sub-systems in road-vehicles is increasing fast. This development is primarily driven by the new and improved functionality that can be implemented with electro-mechanical sub-systems, but it is also necessary for the transition to electric and hybrid-electric drive trains.

7. 25. Modeling the Role of Energy Management in Embodied Cognition

   Author : Alberto Montebelli; Tom Ziemke; Robert Lowe; Högskolan i Skövde; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Technology; Teknik;

   Abstract : The quest for adaptive and autonomous robots, flexible enough to smoothly comply with unstructured environments and operate in close interaction with humans, seems to require a deep rethinking of classical engineering methods. The adaptivity of natural organisms, whose cognitive capacities are rooted in their biological organization, is an obvious source of inspiration. READ MORE
