A motorcycle leaning hard into a turn looks sort of like magic. Of course, the whole process is actually governed by some basic physics. In short, the motorcycle leans in a turn because of torque and ...

This is a cooler physics problem than I initially realized. It goes something like this. A block has a mass of 1 kg and is placed on a vertical wall such that the coefficient of static friction is 0.5 ...

A nonlinear observer for automotive vehicle velocity estimation in presence of varying friction and road bank angles is presented, and validated and compared to an Extended Kaiman Filter (EKF) ...
