MUMBAI, India, June 27 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202341087197 A) filed by Bosch Global Software Technologies Private Limited; and Robert Bosch Gmbh, Bangalore, Karnataka, on Dec. 20, 2023, for 'a method to calculate steering angle for an electronic power steering (eps) system.'
Inventor(s) include Anush Barat S; M. Dhivya Lakshmi; Akshaya Sridhar; and Kesava Prasad Sanjivi Arul.
The application for the patent was published on June 27, under issue no. 26/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure proposes a method (300) to calculate a steering angle using a trained AI model (140) during a clutch slip condition and an Electronic Control Unit (ECU (130)) thereof. The EPS system (100) comprises a steering wheel (102) coupled to a steering rack (106) through a steering column (104), a motor (108) coupled to the steering rack (106) by means of a worm wheel assembly (120) and a secondary pinion (121), the worm wheel assembly (120) comprising a clutch (126) that detaches from the pinion when disproportionate force acts upon the steering rack (106) (clutch slip). Value of worm wheel torque and rotor acceleration is fed as input to the AI model (140). The AI model (140) is trained to learn a magnitude of clutch slip. The instantaneous steering angle value is calculated by adjusting a received value of steering angle before the clutch slip in accordance with the magnitude of clutch slip."
