Synopsis

X-by-wire Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) have been attracting increased attention for various civilian or military applications. The x-by-wire techniques (drive-by-wire, steer-by-wire, and brake-by-wire techniques) provide the possibility of achieving novel vehicle design and advanced dynamics control, which can significantly improve the overall performance, maneuverability, and mobility of the UGVs. However, there are few full x-by-wire UGVs prototype models reported in the world. Therefore, there is no book that can fully describe the design, configuration, and dynamics control approach of full x-by-wire UGVs, which makes it difficult for readers to study this hot and interesting topic. In this book, we use a full x-by-wire UGV, developed by our group, as the example. This UGV is completely x-by-wire with four in-wheel motors driven and a four-wheel independent steer steer. In this book, the overall design of the UGV, the design of the key subsystems (battery pack system, in-wheel motor-driven system, independent steer system, remote and autonomous control system), and the dynamics control approach will be introduced in detail, and the experiment's results will be provided to validate the proposed dynamics control approach.

He is also a visiting Ph.D. student in Vehicle Dynamics and Control Lab at University of California, Berkeley.

Jun's research interest is the intelligent control for the UGV or mobile robots. He has published over 40 papers and holds 10 Chinese patents in this field. He served as the President of the BIT Special UGV Innovation Center and BIT Formula Student Racecar team. He is the co-organizer of several international conferences, such as the special workshop of the IEEE Intelligent Vehicle Symposium and the special workshop of the 19th APAC SAE Congress. Jun won the National Award of Science and Technology for Youth in 2013, which was awarded by the Vice President of China. He was selected into the National Support Program for Youth Talent in 2016, which was awarded by the China Association for Science and Technology.
