Symposium topics
The following topics from the manned ground vehicle area will be discussed with appropriate reference to their applicability to unmanned ground vehicles:
- historical aspects, pivotal accomplishments, and analysis of future trends in Road/off-the road and vehicle dynamics
- innovative online, real-time modeling Methot methodologies, open architecture software, and visualization in virtual environment of vehicles with multibody, multi-physics, and multi-input output systems, fast and slow conflicting holonomic/non-holonomic systems with interconnected dynamics
- new fast and predictive control techniques and advanced sensors/actuator designs and electronics in under/over actuated systems to accommodate agile vehicle dynamics requirements
- Tara mechanics, soil dynamic characteristics, uncertainties and stochastic characteristics of vehicle-environment interaction for agile vehicle dynamics modeling
- case studies of agile vehicle dynamics and vehicle systems design
