Abstract: A vehicle autonomous driving control apparatus for a vehicle includes: a processor that adjusts a control band for controlling an acceleration and a deceleration of the vehicle, based on a target acceleration and deceleration and an acceleration/deceleration response stage which sets a speed of responsiveness of the acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle to follow the target acceleration and deceleration; and a storage to store a driving pattern learning result calculated by the processor, the target acceleration and deceleration, and the control band.

Abstract: A method for providing the engine oil usage information may include determining, by a controller, a current engine driving state out of a plurality of predetermined driving states of an engine of the hybrid electric vehicle from driving information, determining, by the controller, a real-time cumulative distance value corresponding to the determined current engine driving state, updating, by the controller, an oil usage distance using the real-time cumulative distance value, determining, by the controller, an engine oil change time by comparing the updated oil usage distance with a predetermined engine oil change distance, and informing, by the controller, information related to the determined engine oil change time through a notification unit.

Abstract: A robotic device that includes a housing defined by a proximal end and a distal end, the housing including a top planar surface, a bottom planar surface, and a sidewall extending between the top planar surface and the bottom planar surface. The housing further includes an angled surface extending distally from the proximal end between the bottom planar surface and the top planar surface such that the angled surface forms a wedged nose at the proximal end along the bottom planar surface. A conveyor track is positioned along the angled surface and transports articles positioned thereon from the proximal end along the bottom planar surface toward the distal end along the top planar surface.

Abstract: A travel assistance method that is performed by a computer including at least one processor is provided. The travel assistance method assists travel of a subject vehicle and includes: setting a start point and an end point of a route where the subject vehicle travels along a curve; assuming a triangle including the start point and the end point; setting a control point on each of two sides of the triangle to assume a quadrangle; calculating a route line accommodated in the quadrangle; and assisting the subject vehicle in traveling along the curve.

Abstract: A controller and a control method to a vehicle, the controller and the control method executing brake control in which primary information is selectively supplemented by secondary information that is information on an assumed state related to connection and disconnection of a clutch. The controller includes a determination section that determines whether an actual state and the assumed state, which are related to the connection and the disconnection of the clutch, match each other in accordance with a temporal change in the secondary information; and a brake control section that executes the brake control by using the primary information but not the secondary information in the case where the determination section determines that the actual state and the assumed state do not match each other.

Abstract: Various embodiments for fast prototyping of morphologies and controllers related to locomotion for a robotic device are disclosed.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an equivalent trajectory generating method for a biped robot and a biped robot using the same. The method includes: obtaining a motion state of the biped robot by a position sensor; determining switching moments in an advancing direction of the biped robot, based on the motion state of the biped robot; finding the mass center position of the biped robot at each switching moment; connecting the mass center positions at the switching moments as an equivalent trajectory of the biped robot; and performing a closed loop control on the biped robot according to the equivalent trajectory. Through the method, the overall real-time position of the robot can be obtained according to the equivalent trajectory effectively, which is advantageous to perform a stable and reliable control to the biped robot according to the equivalent trajectory of the biped robot.
