Techniques are provided for vehicle oscillation control. In one embodiment, the techniques involve identifying an oscillation at a steering wheel or steering column of a vehicle, upon determining that the oscillation exceeds an oscillation of interest threshold, identifying the oscillation as an oscillation of interest, classifying a cause of the oscillation of interest, and mitigating the oscillation of interest based on the classification of the cause.

A control system for a work vehicle having a displacement device by which the work vehicle can travel, the control system comprising a steering control unit configured to control the displacement device to execute steering instructions, the steering control unit being configured to receive first steering instructions from a first direction control unit and second steering instructions from a second direction control unit, and
a selector for selecting a first mode in which the steering control unit is to execute the first steering instructions and to ignore the second steering instructions, and a second mode in which the steering control unit is to execute the second steering instructions and to ignore the first steering instructions.

An autonomous omnidirectional drive unit including a drive chassis supported on two independent, parallel, and coaxial drive wheels, actuated by two drive motors; a transport chassis the central area of which is superimposed on and connected to the drive chassis through a rotary joint, the transport chassis being supported on multiple omnidirectional wheels. The drive unit further includes a rotating device, actuated by a rotary motor, integrated in the rotary joint between the transport chassis and the drive chassis, which determines the angular position of the drive chassis with respect to the transport chassis, and a control device configured for adjusting at least the two drive motors and the rotary motor in a coordinated manner to obtain omnidirectional movement of the transport chassis.

The disclosure relates to a method for reversing an articulated vehicle combination along a road curvature of a road, comprising obtaining image data representing a rearward view with respect to the articulated vehicle combination, wherein the method further comprises detecting road edges of the road in the image data; determining a plurality of longitudinal and lateral positions of the respective detected road edges; calculating road curvature of the road based on the determined lateral and longitudinal positions; calculating vehicle path curvature to stay on the road; and reversing the articulated vehicle combination by automatically steering the articulated vehicle combination to follow the calculated vehicle path curvature in order to follow the road curvature, wherein the road edges are detected by use of an image analysis algorithm which is based on a plurality of predefined types of road edges of a plurality of different road types.

A drill rig with a steering system may include a substructure having a wheelhouse, a drill floor arranged atop the substructure, a mast extending upwardly and above the drill floor, and a steering system arranged within the wheelhouse. The steering system may include a wheel assembly comprising an electric motor configured for driving rotational motion of a wheel, a deployment device configuring for deploying the wheel assembly to carry the drill rig, and a steering mechanism configured for selective engagement with the wheel assembly and rotating the wheel assembly.

A power steering system for a motorcycle is provided. The motorcycle includes a front fork having a first vertical bar and a second vertical bar. The power steering system include at least one motor. A first belt portion includes a first end secured to the first vertical bar and a second end operatively connected to the motor. A second belt portion includes a first end secured to the second vertical bar and a second end operatively connected to the motor. A power source is electrically connected to the motor by wiring through a switch. The switch includes a switch knob operable to activate the switch from an off position to a first mode and a second mode. The first mode includes the motor pulling the first belt portion and the second mode includes the motor pulling the second belt portion.

A vehicle remote control system including an electronic key pre-registered as a device via which a vehicle can be remote-operated, and a mobile communication device pre-registered as a device that belongs to a user of the vehicle. In the system, a vehicle-mounted authentication unit is configured to determine whether or not authentication of the electronic key and the mobile communication device has succeeded, and a vehicle-mounted allowance determination unit is configured to, if it is determined by the vehicle-mounted authentication unit that the authentication of the electronic key and the mobile communication device has succeeded, allow operation of a predetermined vehicle-mounted activation unit.

A mobile, spherical robot includes a spheroid shell, an internal assembly secured to the shell, and a head disposed atop the shell. The internal assembly is disposed within the shell for propelling the mobile robot. The internal assembly includes a base, a weight-shifting steer mechanism secured to the base, and a drive assembly rotatably secured to the spheroid shell, and a pivoting arm secured to the base. The drive systems propels the mobile robot by rotating the spheroid shell about the base. The head is secured to the magnetized end of the pivoting arm through the spheroid shell. The weight-shifting steer mechanism shifts a ballast weight so as to move the center of gravity and inducing a turn.
