Course content:
• Selected topics from the field of control of mobile systems. Most notable driver assistant systems, e.g. for parking, evasive maneuvers, autonomous driving.
• Typical topics covered are kinematic models, path planning, nonlinear control
• In the lecture the theoretical foundation and algorithms are provided.
• In the simulation exercise student teams of two are obliged to implement and test the algorithms within the Matlab/Simulink framework.
• Porting the results on a physical model might possible in some semesters, depending on progress and capabilities
