Abstract:
1. A steering system for controlling movement of a steering element, the control system comprising: an input device with a movable steering handle adapted to provide a handle position signal indicative of a position of the handle, a speed processor adapted to provide a handle velocity signal indicative of a speed of the steering handle, a sensor adapted to generate a steering element position signal indicative of a position of the steering element, a first signal processor adapted to provide an error signal based on an arithmetic operation involving the handle position signal and the steering element position signal, a second signal processor adapted to provide an amplification parameter which depends on the velocity signal, and to provide a correction signal based on an arithmetic operation involving the error signal and the amplification parameter, a third signal processor adapted to provide a velocity reference based on an arithmetic operation involving the handle velocity signal and the correction signal, and a steering controller adapted to convert the velocity reference into movement of the steering element.
