Identification of the Feedback Component of the Neuromuscular System in a Pitch Control Task

This goal of this study is to understand which parts of the the neuromuscular system contribute during a pitch control task. A novel method developed at the Delft University of Technology allows us to determine the contribution of the neuromuscular feedback system by identifying the admittance, which is the frequency response function of the...

System provided with an assistance-controller for assisting an operator of the system, control-operation assisting device, control-operation assisting method, driving-operation assisting device, and driving-operation assisting method

A target-travel-path generating circuit calculates a target travel path along which the controlled object can travel in the future from the current controlled object position, an ideal-control-signal calculating circuit calculates a control profile S to travel along the target travel path P, and a difference calculating circuit calculates a...

A Two-Dimensional Weighting Function for a Driver Assistance System

Driver assistance systems that supply force feedback (FF) on the accelerator commonly use relative distance and velocity with respect to the closest lead vehicle in front of the own vehicle. This 1-D feedback might not accurately represent the situation and can cause unwanted step-shaped changes in the FFs during lateral maneuvers. To address...
