This paper presents research in steering control techniques for an automated all-terrain vehicle (ATV). The work presented here focused particularly on modification of previous control methods for a motorized steering system done by another team in order to eliminate problems with motor overheating. Hardware and software techniques were utilized in the process of exploring the cause of the heating, and what has been learned can be integrated into the ATV systems.
Nabila (Nan) BouSaba is a faculty associate with the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte since 2008; she is the senior design instructor for the department, courses taught include Basic Circuit for non-majors, and Technology Innovation and Entrepreneurship course at UNC Charlotte. Nan Earned her BS and Master Degrees in Electrical Engineering (1982, 1986) The faculty teaching this course developed a strategy to nourish the innovation and entrepreneurship in young engineer by allowing all engineering majors to register for the course and by forming multidisciplinary teams that worked on the innovation of the idea, developed an executive summary of the project and looked into the financial support of the invention. Each team had to analyze the opportunity at hand, provide a thorough market analysis, and write a report about the project (from inception to commercialization). Students on each team were encouraged to continue to work together in the College of Engineering Senior Design I and Senior Design II courses with the intent of them being able to commercialize the design.Part of the faculty effort was to build and promote a culture of innovation among engineering students; therefore as a follow up from the course offering in the spring 2013 the faculty supported two projects during their capstone senior design courses for the fall 2013-spring 2014 semesters with a strong plan for commercialization of the product. These students were motivated, self-driven and excited about their projects and the possibility of launching a business successfully by using our program, and taking advantage of the resources available to them from our University's Office of Technology Transfer.
