Full textEtt av de största hindren för att lansera självkörande fordon är den nuvarande lagstiftningen som i dagsläget inte täcker automationsnivå högre än nivå 2. Arbetet med att ta fram lagkraven sker på FN nivå inom WP29 (The UNECE World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations). Som en världsledande fordonstillverkare strävar Scania efter att bana väg för hållbara transportlösningar. På Scania finns väletablerade metoder för certifiering av olika system, men processen för certifiering av autonoma fordon måste dock utvecklas.Detta examensarbete undersöker den aktuella situationen när det gäller utformandet av regelverk för att täcka autonoma fordon, framtida certifieringsmetoder relaterade till dessa system och hur detta påverkar Scania. Särskilt fokus ligger på utredning av virtuella certifieringsmetoder. Detta kan ligga till grund för olika avdelningar på Scania i deras arbete med framtida autonoma system och hur man får dessa certifierade.Det framtida certifieringsarbetet för autonoma fordon kommer att bygga på en valideringsprocess som bygger på en process som kallas för ”Multi-pillars approach”/”Three- pillars approach”. Tanken är att fordonet ska certifieras utifrån en process där grunden till certifiering görs genom att validera och rättfärdiga sina system. Detta ska ske genom simulering och andra metoder för att säkerhetsställa att systemen är tillfredställande. Ett mindre omfattande arbete ska sedan göras i testningen av fordonen på testbana och ute i trafik, där endast mindre krävande situationer ska valideras.De funktionella kraven på fordonen kommer till stor del att styra den valideringsprocessen som görs med för ”Multi-pillars approach”/”Three-pillars approach”. Exempelvis är definierandet av ODD (Operational Design Domain) avgörande för den validering som fordonet i ett senare skede ska genomgå.

Full textThis thesis explores the development and validation of autonomous navigation systems within a mixed-reality (MR) framework, aiming to bridge the gap between virtual simulation and real-world testing. The research emphasizes the potential of MR environments for safely, efficiently, and cost-effectively testing autonomous systems. The thesis is structured around several chapters, beginning with a review of state-of-the-art technologies in autonomous navigation and mixed-reality applications. Through both rule-based and learning-based models, the research investigates the performance of autonomous robots within simulated, real, and MR environments. One of the core objectives is to reduce the "reality gap"—the discrepancy between behaviors observed in simulations versus real-world applications—by integrating real- world elements with virtual components in MR environments. This approach allows for more accurate testing and validation of algorithms without the risks associated with physical trials. A significant part of the work is dedicated to implementing and testing an offline augmentation strategy aimed at enhancing the perception capabilities of autonomous systems using depth information. Furthermore, reinforcement learning (RL) is applied to evaluate its potential within MR environments. The thesis demonstrates that RL models can effectively learn to navigate and avoid obstacles in virtual simulations and perform similarly well when transferred to MR environments, highlighting the framework’s flexibility for different autonomous system models. Through these experiments, the thesis establishes MR environments as a versatile and robust platform for advancing autonomous navigation technologies, offering a safer, more scalable approach to model validation before real-world deployment

Full textIntelligent autonomous vehicle (or just autonomous vehicle - AV) is a type of embedded system that integrates physical (hardware) and computational (software) components. Its main feature is the ability to move and operate partially or fully autonomously. Autonomy grows with the ability to perceive and move within the environment, robustness and ability to solve and perform tasks dealing with different situations (intelligence). Autonomous vehicles represent an important research topic that has a direct impact on society. However, as this field progresses some secondary problems arise, such as how to know if these systems have been sufficiently tested. One of the testing phases of an AV is the field testing, where the vehicle is taken to a controlled environment and it should execute the mission for which it was programed freely. It is generally used to ensure that autonomous vehicles show the intended behavior, but it usually does not take into consideration the code structure. The vehicle (hardware and software) could pass the field testing, but important parts of the code may never have been executed. During the field testing, the input data are collected in logs that can be further analyzed to evaluate the test results and to perform other types of offline tests. This thesis presents a set of proposals to support the analysis of field testing from the point of view of the structural testing. The approach is composed of a class model in the context of the field testing, a tool that implements this model and a genetic algorithm to generate test data. It also shows heuristics to reduce the data set contained in a log without reducing substantially the coverage obtained and combination and mutation strategies that are used in the algorithm. Case studies have been conducted to evaluate the heuristics and strategies, and are also presented and discussed.

Full textAdvanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) support the driver, offer comfort, and take responsibility for increasing road safety. These complex systems endure an extensive testing phase resulting in optimization potential regarding quality, reproducibility, and costs. ADAS of the future will support ever-larger proportions of driving situations in increasingly complex scenarios and represent a key factor for Autonomous Driving (AD). Current testing methods for ADAS can be divided into simulation and reality. The core concept behind the simulation is to benefit from reproducibility, flexibility, and cost reduction. However, simulation cannot yet completely replace real-world tests. Physical conditions, such as weather, road surface, and other variables, play a crucial role in evaluating ADAS road tests and cannot be fully replicated in a virtual environment. These test methods rely on real driving tests on special test sites as well as in real road traffic and are very time-consuming and costly. Therefore, new and efficient test methods are required to pave the way for future ADAS. A new approach Vehicle in the Loop (VIL), which is already being used in the industry today, combines the advantages of simulation and reality. The approach in this project is a new method besides existing VIL solutions. Taking advantage of testing ADAS in simulation and reality, this project presents a new approach to using Augmented Reality (AR) to test camera-based ADAS in a reproducible, cost- and time-efficient way. High computer power is needed for complex automotive environmental conditions, such as high vehicle speed and fewer orientation points on a test track compared to AR applications inside a building. A three-dimensional model with accurate information about the test site is generated based on the combination of visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (vSLAM) and Semantic Segmentation. The use of a special augmentation process allows us to enrich reality with virtual road users to present a proof of concept for future test procedures
Bhat, Sriharsha. "Hydrobatics: Efficient and Agile Underwater Robots." Licentiate thesis, KTH, Farkostteknik och Solidmekanik, 2020. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:kth:diva-286062.
Full textTermen hydrobatik avser förmåga att utföra avancerade manövrer med undervattensfarkoster. Syftet är att, med bibehållen fart och räckvidd, utvigda den operationella förmågan i manövrering, vilket möjliggör helt nya användningsområden för maximering av kostnadseffektivitet. I denna avhandling undersöks fördelar och tekniska utmaningar relaterade till hydrobatik som tillämpas på undervattensrobotar, vanligen kallade autonoma undervattensfarkoster (AUV). Avhandlingen bidrar till ny kunskap i simulering, reglering samt tillämpning i experiment av dessa robotar genom en strukturerad metod för att realisera hydrobatisk förmåga i realistiska scenarier. Tre nyttoområden beaktas - miljöövervakning, havsproduktion och säkerhet. Inom dessa nyttoområden har ett antal scenarios identifierats där en kombination av smidighet i manövrerbarhet samt effektivitet i prestanda är avgörande för robotens förmåga att utföra sin uppgift. För att åstadkomma detta måste två viktiga tekniska utmaningar lösas. För det första har dessa AUVer färre styrytor/trustrar än frihetsgrader, vilket leder till utmaningen med underaktuering. Utmaningen beskrivs i detalj och lösningsstrategier som använder optimal kontroll och modellprediktiv kontroll belyses. För det andra är flödet runt en AUV som genomför hydrobatiska manövrar komplext med övergång från laminär till stark turbulent flöde vid höga anfallsvinklar. Detta gör flygdynamikmodellering svår. En full 0-360 graders flygdynamikmodell härleds därför, vilken kombinerar en multi-tillförlitlighets hydrodynamisk databas med en generaliserad strategi för komponentvis-superpositionering av laster. Detta möjliggör prediktering av hydrobatiska manövrar som t.ex. utförande av looping, roll, spiraler och väldigt snäva svängradier i realtids- eller nära realtids-simuleringar. I nästa steg presenteras ett cyber-fysikaliskt system (CPS) – där funktionalitet som härrör från simuleringar kan överföras till de verkliga användningsområdena på ett effektivt och säkert sätt. Simulatormiljön är nära integrerad i robot-miljön, vilket möjliggör förvalidering av reglerstrategier och mjukvara innan hårdvaruimplementering. En egenutvecklad hydrobatisk AUV (SAM) används som testplattform. CPS-konceptet valideras med hjälp av SAM i ett realistiskt sceanrio genom att utföra ett sökuppdrag av ett nedsänkt föremål under fältförhållanden. Resultaten av arbetet i denna licentiatavhandling kommer att användas i den fortsatta forskningen som fokuserar på att ytterligare undersöka och utveckla ny metodik för reglering av underaktuerade AUVer. Detta inkluderar utveckling av realtidskapabla ickelinjära MPC-implementeringar som körs ombord, samt AI-baserade reglerstrategier genom ruttplaneringsåterkoppling, autonom systemidentifiering och förstärkningsinlärning. Sådan utveckling kommer att tillämpas för att visa nya möjligheter inom de tre nyttoområdena.

This study based on the disengagement reports by the California Department of Motor Vehicles to find the ranking of the autonomous vehicle testing on the public roads. Meanwhile, the rate of disengagement depends on the number of disengagements per thousand mileage which can judge the performance of the autonomous vehicle. According to the global patent searching system of the Intellectual Property Office of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Taiwan, to search the keyword "Autonomous and Vehicle" for full-text search and analysis, which analyze the count of the patent and portfolio of the patent , the main inventor ,which can find out the relation between the international patent classification and the rate of the disengagement to illustrate the trend of autonomous vehicle field in California, US. This study found that the number of patents grow up with the companies’ scale. The main inventor come from similar background to autonomous vehicle field and universities. It should be considered that The inventor may choose to start-up his own business or jump-hopping to competitors’ companies. But the huge capital is big problem to startup or leave the research team by different career plan. For the auto manufacturers and IT companies, the number of international patent classification risen may lead to disengagement rate declined.

This proposal presents an adaptive vehicle rotate angle system using dual micro-inertial sensor, which can apply to underwater environment. The system consists of vehicle rotate angle estimation module and PZT driving module to form adaptive front LED lighting system. Driving module is composed of two core components: symmetrical piezoelectric element and trussed preload structure. The design of the symmetrical piezoelectric element is utilizing the finite element analysis to simulate its motion characteristics, in order to get the fixed point and the driving point. The piezoelectric actuator of the preload structure design improves the general linear preload track type into torque track type, to further simplify the linear preload track into rotation track and introduce the truss structure component concept to ameliorate preload skew problem, and design a triangular truss-type preload mechanism, and then to integrate with SPE as a driving module. Finally realizing the active dynamic feedback sensing concept and enhance AUV or ROV in underwater exploration technology capability.
