Design, implementation, and experimental validation of optimal power split control for hybrid electric trucks

Hybrid electric vehicles require an algorithm that controls the power split between the internal combustion engine and electric machine(s), and the opening and closing of the clutch. Optimal control theory is applied to derive a methodology for a real-time optimal-control-based power split algorithm. The presented strategy is adaptive for vehicle mass and road elevation, and … Continue reading →

Mijn praatje ging over high-tech machines, over robots voor oog– en buikchirurgie en over robots voor gebruik in de thuiszorg. Met mooie filmpjes natuurlijk van onze voetballende TechUnited Europese kampioenen. De overstap van autonoom voetballende robots naar slimme, schone en moderne high … Continue reading →
