METHOD FOR PROVIDING FEEDBACK REGARDING MOBILITY OPERATING
A mobility system includes a mobility module that measures and controls a mobility state of the mobility system and an operation module that receives a movement input of the mobility system. The operation module is configured to identify the mobility state through the mobility module, measure a force or torque depending on the movement input, calculate a restoring torque satisfying a critical velocity or a critical acceleration, based on the mobility state and the measured force or torque, and provide feedback on the movement input depending on the determined restoring torque.
Stray magnetic field cancellation for steering torque sensor
A method for steering torque sensor stray magnetic field cancellation includes receiving, from at least one magnetic sensor disposed within a torque sensing region, a detected magnetic field corresponding to an angular displacement between an upper steering shaft and a lower steering shaft of an electronic power steering system. The method also includes generating a first torque signal based on the detected magnetic field and receiving, from at least one stray region sensor disposed outside of the torque sensing region, a detected stray magnetic field. The method also includes determining a torque signal error based on the detected stray magnetic field and generating a second torque signal based on the first torque signal and the torque signal error. The method also includes selectively controlling at least a portion of the electronic power steering system using the second torque signal.

Vehicle steering assist device
A vehicle steering assist device includes a first detector to detect steering torque by a driver's steering wheel operation, a first calculator to calculate assist steering torque for the detected steering torque, a second calculator to calculate target steering torque to perform steering control, a controller to switch the first calculator from an active state to an inactive state to limit an output of the assist steering torque when the second calculator is in an active state, an EPS torque setter to set EPS torque to drive an EPS motor based on outputs from the second calculator and the controller, and a second detector to detect a driver's holding state of a steering wheel. Even when the second calculator is in the active state, when the second detector detects that a driver holds the steering wheel, the controller switches the first calculator from the inactive state to the active state.
