Method and device for control of a mobility device
A system for control of a mobility device comprising a controller for analyzing data from at least one sensor on the mobility device, wherein the data is used to determine the gait of user. The gait data is then used to provide motion command to an electric motor on the mobility device.
Adaptive control of autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle
A control system controls a vehicle using a probabilistic motion planner and an adaptive predictive controller. The probabilistic motion planner produces a sequence of parametric probability distributions over a sequence of target states for the vehicle with parameters defining a first and higher order moments. The adaptive predictive controller optimizes a cost function over a prediction horizon to produce a sequence of control commands to one or multiple actuators of the vehicle. The cost function balances a cost of tracking of different state variables in the sequence of the target states defined by the first moments. The balancing is performed by weighting different state variables using one or multiple of the higher order moments of the probability distribution.
Method for controlling the lateral position of a motor vehicle
A control method is provided for controlling a lateral position of a motor vehicle. The control method includes calculating a sighting distance of a detector means embedded in the vehicle, calculating a first component of a steering angle setpoint of a steered wheels of the vehicle, and calculating a second component of the steering angle setpoint. The first component is an open loop component of a control system, while the second component is a closed loop component of the control system. The first component is weighted by a gain that is a decreasing function of the sighting distance.
Adaptive acceleration control systems and methods
Aspects of the subject technology relate to systems and methods for adaptively controlling acceleration of a vehicle employing one pedal driving functionality. A full release of an accelerator pedal of a vehicle is detected while the vehicle travels at a first non-zero speed according to a default accelerator pedal map. When the full release of the accelerator pedal is detected, the vehicle decelerates, and the first accelerator pedal map is switched to an adaptive accelerator pedal map. While the vehicle decelerates, the adaptive accelerator pedal map is adjusted according to reduction of a speed of the vehicle. When a depression of the accelerator pedal to reaccelerate the vehicle pedal is detected while the vehicle decelerates and before the speed of the vehicle reaches zero, the vehicle is controlled to reaccelerate the vehicle according to the adjusted adaptive accelerator pedal map without further decelerating the vehicle.
End dynamics and constraints relaxation algorithm on optimizing an open space trajectory
A method of navigating an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV) includes determining a target function for an open space model based on one or more obstacles and map information within a proximity of the ADV, then iteratively performing first and second quadratic programming (QP) optimizations on the target function. Then, generating a second trajectory based on results of the first and second QP optimizations to control the ADV autonomously using the second trajectory. The first QP optimization is based on fixing a first set of variables of the target function. The second QP optimization is based on maximizing a sum of the distances from the ADV to each of the obstacles over a plurality of points of the first trajectory, and minimizing a difference between a target end-state of the ADV and a determined final state of the ADV using the first trajectory.
