Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleSelf-Supervised Contrastive Learning for Steering Angle Prediction in Autonomous Driving SimulationsMaxson Phang, Suryadiputra LiawatimenaPredicting steering angles is a crucial task in autonomous driving, with end-to-end deep learning being a widely used approach. However, such models often suffer from overfitting to learned trajectories, limiting their generalization to new data. To address this, self-supervised contrastive learning is explored as an alternative, allowing models to learn meaningful representations without labeled data. The primary objective is to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 9 · 20 Oct 2025 · 2,581 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRobust Electronic Differential Controller for an Electric VehicleA. Ravi, Sankaran PalaniThis study presents an efficient and robust control scheme of electronic differential system for an electric vehicle. The proposed system consists of two Brushless DC motors (BLDC) that ensure the drive of the two back driving wheels of an electric vehicle. Electronic Differential Controller (EDC) ensures the maximum torque and it can control both the driving wheel independently to turn … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 11 · 10 Sep 2013 · 7,793 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTransverse Velocity, Transverse Boundary Shear Stress and Flow Deviation in Meandering Open ChannelsYoussef Ismail HafezThis study presents a novel approach for characterizing the mechanics of flow in mildly meandering open channels, specifically focusing on the development of a new vertical distribution equation for transverse velocity. Unlike existing equations in the literature that rely on complex logarithmic or integral forms or infinite series forms, which are impractical for hydraulic engineers, the proposed equation employs ordinary … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 25 Jul 2024 · 5,058 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAsymptotic Stability of Unicycle-Like Robots: The Bessel’s ControllerAndrés G. GarcíaAsymptotic stability of unicycle-like robots proved to be involved due to Brockett's condition. By using a smooth, time-invariant controller constructed out of Bessel’s functions, in this paper unicycle-like robots are uniformly-exponentially stabilized to the origin. The pure feedback controller obtained provides closed-form trajectories with the possibility of a simple and feasible (hardware) non-linear observer construction from posture angle measurements solely. … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 17 Jan 2020 · 7,304 accessesView PDFCite
