Force-Centric Perspectives on Autonomous Vehicle Safety-Maneuvers

Lars Nielsen, Division of Vehicular Systems, Linköping University 
(postdoc at Caltech 85-86)

13 March, 2-3 pm OR 15 Mar, 2-3 pm 
213 Anneberg

Abstract:
Real-time avoidance maneuvers for vehicles have been developed using a force-centric perspective,
where the founding principles are obtained from studies of optimal maneuvers. The
developed optimization framework, the different criteria used, and the obtained solutions give
insight into how to control the forces on the vehicle. A highlight in this presentation is the first
algorithm not needing a tire-road friction estimate.

Imandral: /* 8 Mar 2023 (Wed) */

Yasmine Marani, a PhD student with Eric Feron at KAUST, is going to be visiting Caltech on 8 Mar (Wed). She is working on observer design for nonlinear systems, combining standard control theory methods with learning-based approaches while providing convergence proofs of the whole scheme. She also applies the methods she develops to quadcopters.
