Publication number: 20240059270Abstract: The present disclosure is generally directed to a system and method of compensating for any forces induced by components of a robotic driving system. The robotic driving system including a turntable defining a steering axis and mounted to a steering wheel of a vehicle. A robot frame is mounted to the vehicle and includes a support member. A transmission device has a transmission housing and a drive member. A steering motor is supported by the transmission housing and operatively coupled to the drive member. A load sensor is mounted between the support member and the transmission housing. A controller calculates a first torque experienced by the turntable based on a load signal and a known distance from a steering axis, and the controller determines a second torque to be applied to the steering torque based on the first torque to compensate for forces induced by the robotic driving system.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Applicant: Humanetics Austria GmbHInventors: Jürgen Gugler, Patrick Hofmanninger

Publication number: 20230121504Abstract: An overrunable test vehicle including an electronically-controlled anti-slip braking system for reducing wheel slip during rapid deceleration comprising: a chassis, at least one electric motor connected to a first axle, a hydraulic braking system connected with the chassis and at least a second axle, a rotational speed sensor for determining a rotational speed of a connected axle, a ground speed sensor, and a controller connected with the electric motor, the hydraulic braking system, the rotational speed sensor, and the ground speed sensor. The controller is configured to calculate a difference between the rotational speed of the axle and the ground speed of the chassis to determine a slip threshold of the wheels, actuate the hydraulic brake system to apply a first stopping force, control at least one motor parameter of the electric motor to apply a second stopping force.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2022Publication date: April 20, 2023Applicant: Humanetics Austria GmbHInventors: David Wirthl, Lukas Proprentner, Alexander Brennsteiner, Kyrill Krajoski, Patrick Hofmanninger
