Abstract: An integrated automated robotic test system for automated driving systems is disclosed, which is operable to provide an automated testing system for coordinated robotic control of automobiles equipped with automation functions (i.e., test vehicles) and unmanned target robots with which test vehicles may safely collide. The system may include a system for controlling a vehicle that includes a brake actuator, a throttle actuator, and a steering actuator. The brake actuator is controlled by a brake motor and configured to press and release a brake pedal of the vehicle. The throttle actuator is controlled by a throttle motor and configured to press and release a gas pedal of the vehicle. The steering actuator is configured to control a steering wheel of the vehicle. The steering actuator includes a steering motor configured to attach to the steering wheel and a reaction stand configured to support the steering motor.

Abstract: A wireless power transfer (WPT) receiver circuit includes a receive coil to couple to a transmit coil of a WPT transmitter circuit. A rectifier is coupled to the receive coil to generate a rectified voltage. The rectifier comprises a bridge rectifier circuit including a first set of switching elements. A load modulation circuit facilitates communication between the WPT receiver circuit and the WPT transmitter circuit. The load modulation circuit includes a single modulation capacitor and one or more modulation switching elements. At least one node of one of the modulation switching elements is connected to an input node of the rectifier.

Abstract: A device and circuits are provided for wireless power transfer (WPT) gate-drive power reduction. A WPT receiver circuit includes a receive coil to couple to a transmit coil of a WPT transmitter circuit. A rectification circuit is coupled to the receive coil to generate a rectified voltage. The rectification circuit is a bridge rectifier circuit including a first set of field-effect transistors (FETs). One or more gate-drive control circuits improve power dissipation of the rectification circuit by controlling drive voltages of gate terminals of the first set of FET switches after start-up of the WPT receiver circuit.
