REAR DAMPER ADJUSTMENT
Systems, computer-implemented methods, and computer program products relating to jerk of a vehicle damper are provided. According to an embodiment, a system can comprise a memory that stores computer executable components and a processor that executes the computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components can comprise a control signal determination component that determines movement of a front damper of a vehicle, an amount of time between a first time when the movement of the front damper occurs and a second time when a rear damper of the vehicle will experience a condition which caused the movement of the front damper, and a front damping coefficient of the front damper, and determines a rear damping coefficient of the rear damper configured to mitigate rear suspension impact with an end stop caused by rear suspension compression or rebound based on the movement of the front damper, the amount of time, and the front damping coefficient, and a damper adjustment component that adjusts the rear damper to the rear damping coefficient.
VEHICLE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME
A method of controlling a vehicle is provided. The method includes: identifying detection signals output through a plurality of detectors during travel, identifying the detection signal that changes in response to a state of a road surface among the identified detection signals, acquiring detection information corresponding to the state of the road surface based on the detection signals, recognizing the state of the road surface based on detection information for each state of the road surface stored in a non transitory memory and the acquired detection information, and controlling the plurality of suspension devices based on the recognized state of the road surface and information regarding a control strategy of the suspension device for each state of the road surface stored in the storage.
Method and system for proactively adjusting vehicle occupant biometric monitor in view of upcoming road conditions
A method and system include a biometric monitor monitoring an occupant of the vehicle and a vision detector detecting a condition of an upcoming road segment. A controller determines an adjustment to the biometric monitor for the biometric monitor to counteract an expected effect that the condition of the upcoming road segment will have on the biometric monitor in monitoring the occupant when the vehicle drives over the upcoming road segment. The controller adjusts the biometric monitor according to the adjustment such that the biometric monitor is adjusted in monitoring the occupant according to the adjustment as the vehicle drives over the upcoming road segment. The controller may determine an adaptation to a suspension assembly of the vehicle for the suspension assembly to counteract the expected effect and adapt the suspension assembly according to the adaptation. The adjustment to the biometric monitor is modified accordingly.
Method and System for Proactively Adjusting Vehicle Occupant Biometric Monitor in View of Upcoming Road Conditions

A controller determines an adjustment to the biometric monitor for the biometric monitor to counteract an expected effect that the condition of the upcoming road segment will have on the biometric monitor in monitoring the occupant when the vehicle drives over the upcoming road segment. The controller adjusts the biometric monitor according to the adjustment such that the biometric monitor is adjusted in monitoring the occupant according to the adjustment as the vehicle drives over the upcoming road segment. The controller may determine an adaptation to a suspension assembly of the vehicle for the suspension assembly to counteract the expected effect and adapt the suspension assembly according to the adaptation. The adjustment to the biometric monitor is modified accordingly.
Vehicle intent communication based on vehicle posture
Aspects of the disclosure provide a method for communicating motion intention of a vehicle to other road users. The method can include receiving a signal indicating a motion intention of the vehicle, and controlling a suspension system of the vehicle to create a vehicle posture according to the motion intention of the vehicle to show the motion intention of the vehicle to other road users.
Method for controlling a flow from a source of pressurized air
The invention relates to a method for controlling a flow from a source of pressurized air to an air bag of a pneumatic suspension arrangement in a vehicle. The method comprises obtaining a set of vehicle condition signals comprising at least two vehicle condition signals, each vehicle condition signal being indicative of an individual current condition associated with said vehicle. The method further comprises, on the basis of said set of vehicle condition signals, determining whether or not there is a need to supply the air bag with air from the source of pressurized air. The method further comprises, in response to determining that there is not a need to supply the air bag with air from the source of pressurized air, preventing pressurized air to be fed from said source of pressurized air to said air bag.
VEHICLE INTENT COMMUNICATION BASED ON VEHICLE POSTURE
Aspects of the disclosure provide a method for communicating motion intention of a vehicle to other road users. The method can include receiving a signal indicating a motion intention of the vehicle, and controlling a suspension system of the vehicle to create a vehicle posture according to the motion intention of the vehicle to show the motion intention of the vehicle to other road users.
Robot
A robot according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may comprise: a base; a driving wheel protruding downward from the base; a plate spaced upward from the base; a through hole formed at the plate; a suspension bar including a shaft part rotatably connected to the base and vertically extending upward, and a screw part vertically extending from an upper end of the shaft part toward the through hole; a slider sliding along the shaft part and connected to the driving wheel; a bushing top configured to move up and down along the screw part when the suspension bar rotates; a spring located on an outer circumference of the suspension bar and located between the bushing top and the slider; and a motor disposed above the plate and connected to the screw part through the through hole to rotate the suspension bar.
