Patent ID: 8818571

Claim:
A steering control system for a radio controlled vehicle comprising: an angular speed sensor having a detection axis to detect an angular velocity about the detection axis, and a processing unit, wherein the processing unit is configured to: receive a first steering signal from a receiver of the radio controlled vehicle which indicates a position of a steering control of a controller for the radio controlled vehicle, quantify the first steering signal, receive a signal from the angular speed sensor, quantify the signal from the angular speed sensor so as to generate an assist amount, wherein the signal from the angular speed sensor is quantified to act on an actuator for the steering mechanism of the radio controlled vehicle to steer in a direction opposite to that of the detected angular velocity, retrieve an first assist factor corresponding to the position of the steering control which the received first steering signal indicates adjust the assist amount by multiplying the assist amount by the first assist factor, add the adjusted assist amount to the quantified first steering signal to generate a second steering signal, send the second steering signal to the actuator for the steering mechanism of the radio controlled vehicle.
