...Electric Vehicle Stabilization Control with In-Wheel Motors Geng Cong, Hori Yoichi (The University of Tokyo) Abstract: Body slip angle is important for electric vehicle stabilization control with in-wheel-motors. However，as sensors to measure body slip angle are very expensive, it needs to estimate β from variables measurable. The most difficult forβestimation is that the strong non-linear characteristics of vehicle, especially non-linear characteristics of tire force makes vehicle model parameters change greatly as vehicle running in nonlinear conditions. This paper proposes an observer based on nonlinear tire model which can describe the tire lateral force in its nonlinear region. Simulation and experimental analysis demonstrate the observer’s effectiveness, especially when the vehicle running in nonlinear cornering regions. Key words: electric vehicle, vehicle stabilization control, body slip angle, nonlinear observer, nonlinear tire model 1. Introduction In recent years, considering environmental protection and energy conservation, electric vehicles (EVs) are intensively developed. Due to the improvement of motor design and control technology, modern configurations are developed for EV. One of the latest configurations is motor-in-wheels, which means motors can be fitted into all the driving wheels of EV independently. For vehicle chassis control, such configuration brings much more advantages. All the wheel motors torque can be measured and controlled independently...

Heun Precision Agriculture (PA) technologies can enhance the productivity of irrigated agriculture in Arizona. This guide is intended to aid growers in selecting the right technology when considering the need to acquire new, or upgrade existing equipment. It is expected that growers will adopt new technology only when it solves a problem in an economical way, therefore consultation with your local machinery dealer is a key step in being informed on issues such as cost, service, infrastructure requirements, and compatibility between components, systems, brands, etc. Use of Mechanized Technology and Farm Management Technological innovation in U.S agriculture has been the basis for the outstanding gains in productivity that have been achieved (Fuglie et al., 2007). In the area of energy use, significant progress was made after the transition from animal drawn implements to mechanized operations. By 1945, the use of tractors was preferred due to its versatility (Culpin, 1992). Early in this transition power units used gasoline engines, but by now, tractors and self-propelled agricultural machines make use almost exclusively of diesel engines due to their extended durability and continuous power delivery characteristics. Seeking higher levels of field capacity, modern U.S. agriculture has experienced...

...technology. It is being used to enhance the properties of existing materials. This is largely attributed to the fact that the technology has clearly not been understood and there is still much more to nanotechnology than meets the microscopic eye. It is rare for a single technology to have the power to dramatically influence almost every major industry in the world. Nanotechnology falls into this category and offers fundamentally new capabilities to architect a broad array of novel materials, composites and structures on a molecular scale. This technology has the potential to drastically redefine the methods used for developing lighter, stronger, and high-performance structures and processes with unique and non-traditional properties.

...shape and size of the aircraft. Issues related to mini aerial vehicle design are discussed in the paper. In this paper a case study of design of a 0.6 m fixed wing aerial vehicle is presented. This case study also brings out the requirement of various tools to conduct such an exercise. Introduction: Significant interest is being shown by academic institutions in research activities related to Remotely Piloted Vehicles (RPV’s) and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV’s). Flying platforms and their design with suitable payloads reinforce classroom education while exposing students to a host of flight related problems and issues of systems integration. There has been a long felt need to bring students, especially in the field of engineering, closer to the complexities and risks in dealing with actual systems. The Department of Aerospace Engineering, IIT Bombay has decided to make headway in this direction by developing remotely piloted aerial vehicles as experimental platforms[1]. The various disciplines required for such a design activity are aerodynamics, performance, structures, stability, control and propulsion. Each of these designs are different compared to conventional aircraft. Scalability cannot be applied directly and it opened up new research areas. Low speed aerodynamics, new construction methodologies, efficient power plant and Navigation Guidance and control are few emerging research fields in the development of these mini aerial vehicles. Methodology developed for the airframe...

...has been widely applied in rehabilitation technology and assistive devices to enhance the performance of assistance and quality of life of people with disabilities. By attaching a robotic manipulator to a mobile base, such as a wheelchair or a mobile robot, several robotic assistive devices have been developed to provide both mobility and manipulation assistance to people with severe physical impairments. However, most existing devices only provide a single-arm manipulation, which greatly reduce their efficiency of assistance and restricts their ability to perform complex manipulation tasks which require the involvements of both arms, for example, open the refrigerator with one arm and pick up a bottle of soda with the other one. In my paper, I will be discussing about several different devices that assists people with disabilities and what the future holds for these devices. First, the Personal Mobility and Manipulation Appliance (PerMMA) is the first mobility and manipulation assistive device that is capable of performing bimanual...
