获奖: Experimental Study on Low-Speed Control for Motorcycles Using SPACAR Model and Gain-Scheduling Control; This study examined using SPACAR—a flexible multibody dynamics analysis and simulation software—for the creation of a vehicle dynamics model for motorcycles traveling at low speeds of no more than 10 km/h, at which tires do not slide. An optimal design method using a speed-dependent scale model and weights was used to calculate feedback control gains, and the speed-dependent gains were used to verify stable vehicle response at a speed no more than 1.5 km/h (slower than the average walking speed) with both simulations and a prototype vehicle.

获奖: Robust control design for self-standing when stopped and at very low speeds in the automated motorcycle MOTOROiD; A major advancement was achieved in the robustness of the self-standing function of the motorcycle concept model MOTOROiD (introduced 2017). The adoption of a sliding-mode control system with high-frequency cutoff characteristics contributed to a dramatic improvement in the control unit capacity to sense and adjust to external disturbances. And this was achieved without requiring any changes in the machine’s chassis design.
A joint research project with Susumu Hara, Professor, Ph.D., Department of Aerospace Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering, Nagoya University, led to a beneficial coexistence of different requirements: improvement of the self-standing function and suppression of the residual mode.

获奖: 头盔大师 EX; 这种用于舷外船的控制系统可帮助飞行员进行对接、起飞等所需的各种操作——从在船头、船尾、左舷和右舷方向移动到转弯、对角移动和完整的 360° 旋转——所有这些都通过直观的操纵杆操作。 EX具有全电动转向和首次内部开发的多项自动驾驶功能。

获奖: Study on self-standing motorcycle control mechanism (AMCES); AMCES is a high-precision balance control mechanism governed via artificial intelligence and autonomous technology. Equipped on the MOTOROiD concept model, this allows the machine to sense its own state and adjust its center of gravity accordingly to stand up off its kickstand and remain upright unassisted.
