Modelling lateral web dynamics for R2R equipment design

A model describing the lateral dynamic behaviour of a web between and on rollers is implemented to aid in the design of roll to roll equipment. The model is validated on an industrial setup, and disturbances acting on the web were estimated. The model equations were used to visualise the interdependence between the span length and the...

Position control of a wheeled mobile robot including tire behavior

Advanced driver assistance systems are increasingly available on road vehicles. These systems require a thorough development procedure, an important part of which consists of hardware-in-the-loop experiments in a controlled environment. To this end, a facility called Vehicle Hardware-In-the-Loop (VeHIL) is operated, aiming at testing the entire...

Control design for a mobile robot including tire behavior

In order to support the development process of Advanced Driver Assistance systems for road vehicles, TNO is operating a hardware-in-the-loop test setup. In this facility, called VeHIL, vehicles in the direct neighborhood of the test vehicle are simulated using wheeled mobile robots. Due to the required type of maneuvers, these robots have...
