Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure include a door control system with tip-to-close functionality for use in doors having a power assist function. An exemplary door control system can include an actuator configured to open and close a power-assist door and a sensor configured to measure a velocity of the power-assist door. The door control system can further include a servo-assist module (SAM) communicatively coupled to the actuator and the sensor. The SAM can be configured to initiate a tip-to-close function of the power-assist door responsive to door velocity measurements from the sensor and a natural deceleration rate of the power-assist door caused by actuator dampening.
