Abstract This article proposes the design and development of a novel custom-built, autonomous scaled multiwheeled vehicle that features an eight-wheel drive and eight-wheel steer system. In addition to the mechanical and electrical design, high-level path planning and low-level vehicle control algorithms are developed and implemented including a two-stage autonomous parking algorithm is developed. A modified position-based visual servoing algorithm is proposed and developed to achieve precise pose correction. The results show significant gains in accuracy and efficiency comparing with an open-source path planner. It is the aim of this work to expand the research of autonomous platforms taking the form of commercial and off-road vehicles using actuated steering and other mechanisms attributed to passenger vehicles. The outcome of this work is a unique autonomous research platform that features independently driven wheels, steering, autonomous navigation, and parking.

Quitch is software designed to increase student performance and retention. It is a content-neutral, gamified mobile learning platform used across many disciplines, including accounting, chemistry, and engineering. The aim of Quitch is to ensure students feel engaged with their learning. Motivational modelling is a high-level approach to understand the purpose of a system. It is novel in its incorporation of emotional factors. This chapter discusses how the authors applied motivational modelling to Quitch to explain its purpose and potential. The chapter then more generally discusses how their modelling approach can help with the design and development of new software applications especially in the education space.

The high-level driving simulators generally involve motion platform. This paper describes the design and development of a 6DOF hydraulic motion platform for vehicle driving simulator. Firstly, the structure and kinematic model of the platform are introduced. Then, the speed characteristics of the hydraulic cylinders by using different positive and negative voltage are studied. Because the cylinder startup time and hydraulic pump pressure will both affect the platform's final position, so a real-time platform control method according the sensor feedback is described. Finally, commonly used control functions of the platform are listed. The simulator and the motion platform run well by using this control method.

Current mechanical kinematic animation can’t satisfy the requirements of Virtual Environment (VE) based design. The kinematic animation design in VE development platform does not have high level models and mechanisms, the interactive animation designs and developments are very difficult and time consuming. For these reasons, this paper proposes an innovative method for interactive kinematic animation design and development in VE, including dynamic runtime model and execution algorithm for interactive animation. A complex mechanical kinematic mechanism, that is, the engine assembly, is built to validate the animation technology introduced in this paper.
