Emergent Autonomous Drifting for Collision Avoidance in Real-World Winter Driving Scenarios
Elliot Weiss, Michael Thompson, Thomas Lew +1
Real-world collision avoidance is a core motivation for studying the dynamics and control of high sideslip drifting in vehicles, yet the practical benefit of such maneuvers has so…
Cyber Racing Coach: A Haptic Shared Control Framework for Teaching Advanced Driving Skills
Congkai Shen, Siyuan Yu, Yifan Weng +7
This study introduces a haptic shared control framework designed to teach human drivers advanced driving skills. In this context, shared control refers to a driving mode where the…
Spatial Envelope MPC: High Performance Driving without a Reference
Siyuan Yu, Congkai Shen, Yufei Xi +5
This paper presents a novel envelope based model predictive control (MPC) framework designed to enable autonomous vehicles to handle high performance driving across a wide range of…
First, Learn What You Don't Know: Active Information Gathering for Driving at the Limits of Handling
Alexander Davydov, Franck Djeumou, Marcus Greiff +4
Combining data-driven models that adapt online and model predictive control (MPC) has enabled effective control of nonlinear systems. However, when deployed on unstable systems, on…
Control Barrier Functions for Shared Control and Vehicle Safety
James Dallas, John Talbot, Makoto Suminaka +4
This manuscript presents a control barrier function based approach to shared control for preventing a vehicle from entering the part of the state space where it is unrecoverable. T…
