Cornering maneuvers with reduced body roll and without comfort loss are important requirements for car manufacturers. An electric active roll control(ARC) system controls the body roll angle by using motor-driven actuators installed at the centers of the front and rear stabilizer bars. Co-simulation using the Matlab/Simulink controller model and the CarSim vehicle model was proposed to evaluate the performance of the ARC control algorithm. To validate the performance of the ARC actuator and system, bench tests and vehicle tests were proposed.

A System for reducing vehicle body roll by active control is developed. The stabilizer bar with hydraulic rotary actuator produces anti-roll moment which suppresses roll tendency. This reduction of roll improves the driving safety as well as the ride comfort. Vehicle test data shows considerable reduction of roll angle during steady-state turning. Also improvement of ride comfort is achieved by making the actuator freely rotatable, i.e. by connecting all chambers of actuator in normal driving conditions. A control algorithm using steering wheel angle and vehicle speed signal as input valve is applied. It is compared with signal of the G-sensor.

The ROM (roll over mitigation) system is a next-generation suspension system that can improve vehicle-driving stability and ride comfort. Currently, mass-produced safety systems, such as ESC (electronic stability control) and ECS (electronic control suspension), enable measurements of longitudinal and lateral acceleration as well as yaw rate through inertial sensor clusters, but they lack direct measurements of the roll angle. Therefore, in this paper, a roll angle estimation algorithm from ESC system sensors and tire normal force has been proposed. Furthermore, this study presents a method for roll over mitigation force distribution between the front and rear of a ROM system. Performance and reliability of the roll angle estimation and roll over mitigation force distribution were investigated through simulations. The simulation results showed that the proposed control algorithm and strategy are reliable during vehicle rollovers.

This study is about roll characteristics evaluation to show the advantage of using MR(magneto-rheological) dampers for steering of a SUV(sports utility vehicle). Roll characteristics is very important to observe the roll-propensity of the SUV. ADAMS/Car program was used to simulate the basic steering motion, using 63 D.O.F. vehicle model. Sky-Hook and Ground-Hook control algorithms were used as a semi-active suspension system controller. The roll characteristics from the steering motion were compared between the simulation results from the semi-active suspension system and the passive suspension system.

최근 인간과 유사한 휴머노이드에 대한 연구가 상당히 활발하고 그 영역이 계속해서 확대되고 있는 추세다. 휴머노이드에는 로봇의 몸체 뿐 아니라 머리 부분, 특히 시각 시스템이 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 생리학적인 측면에서 인간의 눈과 목의 운동을 관찰하여 휴머노이드에 적용 가능한 능동 시각 시스템의 기구부 설계 방법을 제안하고 제어 방식을 설명한다. 기존의 팬-틸트 방식의 시각 시스템에 없는 인공 안구의 롤 회전 기능을 추가함으로써, 사람의 시각 시스템과 거의 유사한 동작 영역과 동작 속도를 보이게 된다. 소형 비전센서 모듈을 사용함으로써 시스템의 크기가 줄고 경량화 되었다. DC 모터를 엑츄에이터로 사용함으로써, 위치와 속도 제어가 가능하고, 인간 안구의 단속적 운동을 모사 할 수 있다.

This paper presents a comparison among three types of approaches to an ARC (Active Roll Control) with an AARB(Active Anti-Roll Bar) for a vehicle system. Lateral acceleration and road profile are considered as disturbance. The ARC is designed with an LQ SOF (Linear Quadratic Static Output Feedback) control, $H_{\infty}$ control and SMC (Sliding Mode Control). These approaches are compared in terms of rollover prevention and ride comfort. For comparison, Bode plot analysis based on linear model and frequency response analysis based on CarSim simulation are performed.

In this paper, a novel type of an integrated controller is designed for vehicles equipped with active classis systems to improve vehicle stability, handling, and ride comfort. The hybrid fuzzy logic controller consists of a fuzzy logic controller, a skyhook controller, an attitude controller, and a roll moment distribution controller, and these controllers are used with a proper combination which is determined by the integrated control logic based on driving conditions of a vehicle. It is shown by simulations using MATRIXx/SYSTEMBBUILD software that ride comfort, handling, and active safety are improved for a 16 degree-of-freedom vehicle dynamic model.
