6 Shared Control
Based on the successful implementations of the lateral balancing and tiltup motion, in this chapter, we are going to develop a shared control...
-
2 Kinematics and Dynamics
Previously, Gyrover was controlled only manually, using two joysticks to control the drive and tilt motors through a radio link. A complete dynamic...
-
4 Learning-based Control
Due to the complexity of the system, it is difficult for us to work out a “complete” analytical model of it. Therefore, in this chapter, we propose...
-
1 Introduction
Land locomotion can be broadly characterized as quasi-static or dynamic. Quasi-static equilibrium implies that inertial (acceleration-related)...

5 Further Topics on Learning-based Control
Modeling human control strategy (HCS) refers to a model of a human expert’s control action in response to system real-time feedback. That is, we aim...
-
3 Model-based Control
Due to the inherent lateral instability, the first step in controlling the robot is stabilization. Fortunately, the lean angle of the robot can be...

Addressing Specific Design and Development Issues Using Process Models and Approaches
Design and development situations have many common characteristics but also require situation-specific issues to be treated. This chapter explores...
-
Context of the Design and Development Process
Design and development occurs in many contexts but is also highly varied, with each situation exhibiting different combinations of characteristics...
-
Metaphors for the Design and Development Process
The design and development process occurs in systems of human activity. As such it is perceived only through particular worldviews, where each brings...
-
Approaches for Modelling and Improving Design and Development Processes
Modelling the specific details of design and development processes helps to generate insights for their planning, execution and improvement. A wide...
-
Conceptual Models and Theories of Design and Development
Conceptual models and theories regarding the design and development process convey insights about that process on a high level of abstraction and...
