Devices employing the concept of kinetic energy storage date back to ancient times. Pottery wheels and spinning wheels are early examples of systems employing kinetic energy storage in a rotating mass. With the advent of modern machinery, flywheels became commonplace as steam engines and internal...

This paper presents a model-free adaptive steering control algorithm for path tracking of autonomous vehicles. To design steering controllers for autonomous vehicle path tracking, a mathematical model is needed, but it may have high nonlinearity and complexity that increases computation time and...
