Abstract
A method for estimating a steering wheel torque for a mechanical feedback at a steering wheel of a steering system of a motor vehicle is disclosed, comprising: receiving and/or detecting at least one current measurement value of at least one state variable of the motor vehicle by suitable input means; estimating the current steering wheel torque by means of a controller; outputting the estimated steering wheel torque as a steering wheel torque signal, wherein the estimation is carried out by means of a parameterizable steering model, wherein current measurement values of at least a subset of the at least one state variable are fed as input data to the parameterizable steering model for this purpose, and wherein nonlinearities of the steering system are estimated based on the current measurement values of at least the subset of the at least one state variable using a method of artificial intelligence.
