At the EVTeC 2025 conference in Japan, researchers Viktor Skrickij from VILNIUS TECH and Valentin Ivanov from Smart Vehicle Systems at TU Ilmenau presented their collaborative work on the MOCO project, funded by RA within Marie Sklodowska Curie Actions. The proposed study introduced the wheel corner concept that aims to enhance electric vehicle motion control, offering improved efficiency and capability. It is designed for scalability and replicability across various vehicle segments, facilitating the development of innovative electric vehicle architectures.

From 31 March 2025 to 4 April 2025, Vilnius Tech (VT) staff visited the Technische Universität Ilmenau (TUIL) in Germany. The main objective was to attend training on “Design of Lyapunov-based Sliding Mode Controllers,” conducted by Professors J. Moreno and L. Fridman from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), one of the partners in the MOCO project. The knowledge gained will be applied during the MOCO project to design high-level motion controllers, potentially resulting in faster and more precise actuator control responses.

During the visit, partners from UNAM, TUIL, and VT met face-to-face to discuss the details of the MOCO project. Additionally, VT established closer collaboration with staff from UNAM to further deepen understanding of common tasks for the benefit of the MOCO project.
