This project is done as a research and development project for a Client based in Singapore with a contract to transfer intellectual property at the end of the project. The project is meant to automate a manual Steering wheel system to integrate with an automated self-driving Bus (Autonomous Vehicles) being developed in Singapore.

We replaced the existing Power steering system in the Steering wheel drive with a different motor with an ingenuously developed controller capable of accepting angle commands from the ECU/autopilot of the vehicle and would then drive the steering system to the commanded angle. This system had a developed protocol for communication and an exact PID control using contactless Automotive grade angle sensors for accurate wheel angle measurement and feedback.

This project took 4 months from the start of the activity till final testing and delivery of the system along with IP to the client.
