Abstract: A method and apparatus for sending subscriber identifiers are disclosed. The method includes: receiving information of a USIM card from a UICC in a cloud card pool over a first communication connection; receiving an identity request from a 5G SA network, wherein the identity request is for requesting acquiring a SUCI; acquiring the SUCI based on the identity request and the information of the USIM card; and sending the SUCI to the 5G SA network, wherein the SUCI is for establishing a second communication connection. The SUCI may be generated at the ME or at the UICC. The first communication connection may be a roaming communication connection and the second communication connection may be a non-roaming communication connection.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for controlling a velocity of an autonomous driving vehicle is provided. The method includes steps of: obtaining information of an environment surrounding the vehicle when an obstacle is detected to be on a planning path of the vehicle; obtaining an initial reference velocity profile of the vehicle; determining a safety factor based on the initial reference velocity profile, the information of the environment and information of the vehicle, wherein the safety factor at least comprises a safety distance between the vehicle and the obstacle for the vehicle to follow the obstacle; determining an optimized reference velocity profile based on the information of the environment, the information of the vehicle and the safety factor; and performing the step of determining the safety factor by using the optimized reference velocity profile as the initial reference velocity profile and the step of determining the optimized reference velocity iteratively.

Abstract: A mechatronic device includes two arms extending from a base in a first direction and shaped to be handheld by an operator, the two arms having free ends forming a gripper and arranged to move closer together by rotation from a rest position to an active position, a motor housed in the base, an actuator mounted between the arms, and a means for controlling said actuator, the actuator connected to the motor so as to be driven in movement in translation in the first direction. The actuator also has a first contact surface that forms a cam with a respective second contact surface on each arm, the first contact surface remaining engaged with the second contact surface. The control means controls the movement in translation of the actuator to produce a movement in rotation of the arms that applies a chosen force of the gripper in its active position.

Abstract: A method for controlling a vehicle using a model predictive controller generating consecutive sets of reference states at a calculation frequency. In one embodiment, the method comprises: receiving a trajectory reference for guiding movement of the vehicle; generating, in a calculation cycle repeated at the calculation frequency, a set of reference states based on an initial state of the vehicle at a start time of the calculation cycle and the trajectory reference; sending the set of reference states to a second controller; detecting, by the second controller at a detection frequency equal to or higher than the calculation frequency, an updated state of the vehicle; generating a vehicle control parameter value based on the updated state of the vehicle and a reference state of the set of reference states; and controlling the vehicle using the vehicle control parameter value.
