Controller Mappings for Simultaneous Access to Combined Counter- and In-Phase-Steering Modes

DOT动力平台（DOT）是一种新开发的自主农业方法，具有独立的四轮转向。这导致了高度的潜在可操作性。然而，要充分利用这些功能，标准的左右型转向控制是不够的。该合作项目将开发候选控制器策略，并在萨斯喀彻温大学（University of Saskatchewan）独立开发的具有与DOT相似机动性的小型车辆上进行测试。DOT在加拿大开发，已经引起了全球的兴趣，因为它是一种范式转换技术，朝着更自动化的农业发展。该项目将有助于提高系统的可用性和运营商的信心，**有助于尽早采用该系统。反过来，该平台的成功将促进加拿大研发和兼容设备制造业的就业增长，并解决农村地区日益严重的劳动力短缺问题。

The DOT Power Platform (DOT) is a newly developed approach to autonomous agriculture with independent,**four-wheel steering. This results in a high degree of potential maneuverability. However, to take full advantage**of these capabilities, standard left-right type steering controls are inadequate. This collaborative project will**develop candidate controller strategies and test them on a smaller vehicle with similar maneuverability**characteristics as DOT, developed independently at the University of Saskatchewan.**Developed in Canada, DOT has generated global interest as a paradigm-shifting technology in the move toward**more automated agriculture. This project will contribute to the usability of the system and operator confidence,**aiding with early adoption. The success of the platform will, in turn, foster job growth in Canadian R&D and**manufacturing of compatible equipment, and address the growing issues of labor availability in rural areas.
