A method for illuminating vehicle surroundings of a motor vehicle that comprises an illumination device and a detection device, wherein the illumination device is set up to illuminate at least part of a solid angle region of the vehicle surroundings with different illumination patterns, in particular with visible light, wherein the illumination patterns each predefine illumination intensities for different solid angle subregions of the solid angle region, comprising the steps of: illuminating the vehicle surroundings with a first of the illumination patterns by means of the illumination device, detecting a light pattern that results from the illumination of the vehicle surroundings with the first illumination pattern by means of the detection device, selecting a second of the illumination patterns on the basis of the detected light pattern, and illuminating the vehicle surroundings with the second illumination pattern by means of the illumination device.

A vehicle may receive sensor data captured by a sensor of the vehicle, determine that the sensor data represents an object in the environment, and determine an impact location between the vehicle and the object. The impact location may be associated with a predicted collision between the vehicle and the object. The vehicle may also determine an object type corresponding to the object and/or a characteristic of the object. Based at least in part on the impact location, object type, and/or the characteristic, a ride height of the vehicle may be adjusted.

A vehicle suspension control apparatus includes a mode determination device that determines a suspension control mode corresponding to an identified front road surface, in response to the front road surface of a vehicle being identified, a suspension control amount calculation device that calculates an amount of suspension control for passing through the identified front road surface, based on the determined suspension control mode, and a controller that controls a suspension of the vehicle based on the calculated amount of suspension control.

Methods are provided for proactively controlling a component of a system. The system may comprise a vehicle and the component may comprise a suspension of the vehicle. According to various aspects, methods may include obtaining information regarding a travel surface along a travel path that the system will travel at a future time and, based on the information regarding the travel surface, controlling the component of the system to traverse the travel surface. Controlling the component based on the information regarding the travel surface may comprise comparing the information regarding the travel surface to information regarding at least one physical constraint of the system and/or comparing frequency content of the information regarding the travel surface to a threshold frequency. Proactive control methods may provide improved response to disturbances and improved tracking and isolation because a suspension may be controlled with reduced or substantially zero delay.

This application relates to an electronically controlled air suspension (ECAS) system. When a vehicle starts, the ECAS system receives data from a wheel height sensor and sets the received height as a default height. When driving, a high-speed line profiler scans the road surface in front of the tires of the vehicle. This information is processed by an image processing unit to determine the amount of air in the corresponding damper. If there is a bump on the road, the ECAS system may reduce the amount of air on the tire side in advance, and if there is a dip, the ECAS system may increase the amount of air on the tire side in advance to minimize vibration. Regarding the residual vibration after passing through the bump or dip, the amount of air is adjusted so that the vibration stops quickly by receiving real-time data from the wheel height sensor.

A crane for lifting and transporting loads includes a base frame for transferring the loads of the crane onto a support surface by a plurality of wheels. The wheels are capable of rotating relative to the base frame so as to change the camber angle of the wheels.

The present disclosure relates to a method and an apparatus for controlling an electronic control suspension using a deep learning-based road surface classification model. The method for controlling an electronic control suspension in a vehicle including a camera and a GPS receiver may include collecting location information of the vehicle using the GPS receiver while driving, identifying whether there is a previously generated road surface classification model corresponding to a front obstacle when the front obstacle is detected, determining a first control value based on a first characteristic value corresponding to the road surface classification model when there is the road surface classification model as a result of the identification, controlling the electronic control suspension with the determined first control value when entering the obstacle, and collecting new sensing data through a physical sensor, and correcting the first characteristic value based on the new sensing data.

A vehicle includes a vehicle body, at least one wheel includes an annular tire that rotates to drive the vehicle body along a main driving direction, a wheel gear disposed on an inner surface of the tire, and an in-wheel actuator that is connected to the wheel gear and that rotates to rotate the tire, and positioning devices that are fixed to the vehicle body and that rotate the at least one wheel relative to the vehicle body to change positions of the at least one wheel relative to the vehicle body, the at least one wheel being coupled to at least one positioning device so as to be rotatable.

A driving robot includes a sensor, a loading member configured to load food, a stabilizer provided at a bottom portion of the loading member, the stabilizer including a top plate, a bottom plate, and damping plates provided between the top plate and the bottom plate, the damping plates configured to adjust damping, a driving device including a suspension and a wheel, and a processor configured to control the stabilizer and the suspension based on information of at least one of information associated with the food, information obtained from a driving map or information of surrounding situation detected by the sensor.

A method is provided for diminishing the effect of roadway anomalies on a vehicle by dynamically adjusting an actuating element for regulating damper forces of a vibration damper of a vehicle wheel when passing over a roadway anomaly, in particular a pothole, wherein, when the falling edge of the roadway anomaly is reached, the actuating element is switched into its hardest setting and, when the rising edge of the roadway anomaly is reached, the force request is set equal to 0 and, thereafter, a force request is calculated based on the parameters of the vehicle and the suspension and is transmitted to the damping.
