Oryx Simulations produce simulators for mining and forestry machinery used for educational and promotional purposes. The simulators use motion platforms to reflect how the vehicle moves within the simulator. This platform tilts and accelerates the driver in order to enhance the experience. Previously a classical washout filter algorithm has been used to control the platform which leaves something to be desired regarding how well it reflects the vehicles movement, how easy it is to tune and how it handles the limits of the platform.

This stands in contrast to prior approaches where all such disturbances need to be known a priori and the optimal reactions must be computed off line.

Due to the nature of tunnels, a driver in an underground mine may find themselves driving without much vision of the road up ahead.

Because of the limited vision, however, it is unlikely that a meeting with another vehicle will occur directly next to such a meeting slot.

Abstract:
Brittle materials such as silicon, germanium, glass and ceramics are widely used in semiconductor, optical, micro-electronics and various other fields. Traditionally, grinding, polishing and lapping have been employed to achieve high tolerance in surface texture of silicon wafers in semiconductor applications, lenses for optical instruments etc. The conventional machining processes such as single point turning and milling are not conducive to brittle materials as they produce discontinuous chips owing to brittle failure at the shear plane before any tangible plastic flow occurs. In order to im
