We have proposed a new leg-wheel hybrid mobile robot named ""Roller-Walker"". Roller-Walker is a vehicle with a special foot mechanism, which changes to a sole in walking mode and a passive wheel in skating mode. On rugged terrain the vehicle walks in leg mode, and on level or comparatively smooth terrain the vehicle makes wheeled locomotion by roller-skating using the passive wheels. The characteristics of Roller-Walker are: 1) it has a hybrid function but it is light-weight, 2) it has the potential capability to exhibit high terrain adaptability in skating mode if the control method for roller-wolfing is fully investigated in the future. In this paper, the 4 leg trajectory of straight Roller-Walk is optimized in order to achieve maximum constant velocity. Also steering roller-walk control method is proposed. It is obtained by the expansion of the straight roller-walk trajectory theory adding an offset to the swinging motion. This steering method resembles that of a car. The control system was modified into an untethered system, and control experiments were performed. The realization of the steering motion was verified by them.

The article renders the special features of the design of a tracked mobile robot (MR) for moving over inclined ferromagnetic surfaces while performing specified technological operations. There is conducted a synthesis of the functional structure and selective technological parameters (such as control coordinates) of the computerized monitoring and control system (CMCS) intended for use with this MR. Application of the CMCS with the proposed functional structure allows substantially increasing the accuracy of the MR monitoring and control, which in turn provides for a considerable enhancement in the quality and economic efficiency of the operations on processing of large ferromagnetic surfaces.

For L4 and above autonomous driving levels, the automatic control system has been redundantly designed, and a new steering control method based on brake has been proposed; a new dual-track model has been established through multiple driving tests. The axle part of the model was improved, the accuracy of the transfer function of the model was verified again through acceleration-slide tests; a controller based on interference measurement was designed on the basis of the model, and the relationships between the controller parameters was discussed. Through the linearization of the controller, the robustness of uncertain automobile parameters is discussed; the control scheme is tested and verified through group driving test, and the results prove that the accuracy and precision of the controller meet the requirements, the robustness stability is good. Moreover, the predicted value of the model fits well with the actual observation value, the proposal of this method provides a new idea for avoiding car out of control.

Basically, there are two main techniques to control the vehicle yaw moment. First method is the indirect yaw moment control, which works on the basis of active steering control (ASC). The second one being the direct yaw moment control (DYC), which is based on either the differential braking or the torque vectoring. An innovative idea for the direct yaw moment control is introduced by using an active controller system to supervise the lateral dynamics of vehicle and perform as an active yaw moment control system, denoted as the stabilizer pendulum system (SPS). This idea has further been developed, analyzed, and implemented in a standalone direct yaw moment control system, as well as, in an integrated vehicle dynamic control system with a differential braking yaw moment controller. The effectiveness of SPS has been evaluated by model simulation, which illustrates its superior performance especially on low friction roads.
