Description
Controlling a bicycle seems straight-forward and easy to learn. But although the bicycle approaches its 200th anniversary, the unerlying self-stabilizing dynamics are subject of academic curiosity and debate. The recent trend towards flexible mobility and electrically driven bikes opened an entire new marked for assistive technologies in bike-riding. In this seminar we want to assess the challenges of modelling and controlling bicycles and evaluate past approaches to robotic and autonomous bicycles. The course aims at developing a concept of sensors and actuators needed to autonomously drive a bicycle and assist bicycle riders.
