EEG Correlates of Relative Motion Encoding

Michael Herzog, Gijs Plomp, Yvonne Evelina Thunell

A large portion of the visual cortex is organized retinotopically, but perception is usually non-retinotopic. For example, a reflector on the spoke of a bicycle wheel appears to move on a circular or prolate cycloidal orbit as the bicycle moves forward, wh ...

A Friction Compensation Control for Power Steering

Philippe Müllhaupt, Robert Fuchs

The effects of friction are critical to the dynamics of electric power steering (EPS). On the one hand, friction contributes to the stability of the system and filters some of the disturbances (road vibration, etc.). On the other hand, it affects negativel ...

Quotient method for stabilising a ball-on-a-wheel system – Experimental results

Dominique Bonvin, Philippe Müllhaupt

This paper extends the quotient method proposed in [1] and applies it to stabilize a “ball-on-a-wheel” system. The quotient method requires a diffeomorphism to obtain the normal form of the input vector field and uses canonical pro- jection to obtain the q ...
