Abstract
An adaptive method for controlling the steering of an autonomous vehicle includes receiving a steering input. The steering input is indicative of a desired road wheel angle. The method also includes determining a commanded torque to achieve the desired road wheel angle. The method also includes measuring the road wheel angle of the vehicle (i.e., the measured road wheel angle). The method also includes executing a feedback control to determine a torque overlay. The feedback control includes determining, in real time, a current steering error vector of the vehicle. The feedback control includes determining the difference between the current steering error vector and a predetermined-steering error dynamics vector. The feedback control also includes determining a feedback gain correction vector. The feedback gain correction vector is a function of the difference between the current steering error vector and the predetermined-steering error dynamics vector.
