Abstract
Methods and apparatus for controlling steering nibble in position controlled steering systems are described. A controller is to determine actuator angle data based on steering wheel angle data associated with a steering wheel. The controller is also to determine nibble control angle data based on the steering wheel angle data. The controller is also to determine adjusted actuator angle data based on the actuator angle data and the nibble control angle data. The controller is also to generate a control signal based on the adjusted actuator angle data to apply a torque via an actuator of a position controlled steering system.
