Autonomous Wheel Power Mgt Sys

Credit Hours: 

This course covers wheel power management systems that autonomously control power distribution among the drive wheels of multi-wheel drive ground vehicles. The systems include various configurations with torque/power vectoring devices and individual wheel control, limited slip differentials and hydraulically controlled differentials, electronically-locking differentials, and positive engagement of the wheels. Autonomous wheel power management systems integrated with other vehicle autonomous systems are also presented in the course. Students will be lectured on mechanical design for mechatronic systems, methods for developing control algorithms based on inverse dynamics principles, and PLD implementation. Methods for experimental study of wheel power management systems and vehicles are also considered. Students will exercise analytical skills and gain hands-on experience through workshops, innovative homework, and labs using the 4×4 vehicle chassis dynamometer and system setups.

To use your cell phone as a makeshift document camera

  • Open (swipe to switch apps) and select the camera app on your phone
  • Start in photo mode and aim the camera at whatever materials you would like to share
  • This is where you will have to position what you want to share to get the best view – but you will see ‘how you are doing’ in the main Zoom session.
