Week 6 (September 28 - October 4)

For the week of September 28 and October 4 we are still in the process of researching in order to better our design, because it is hard to find any information about a controlled active suspension anywhere.

Compared to Week 4's research, instead of looking up professional articles, I decided to just use google instead to see if I can get anything useful. Pretty much found the same thing, suspension systems for a car. Although, the figure below is a schematic of they want to model external disturbances and quantify the design objectives such as the road, quality of sensors, and availability of controlled forces. It will be interesting to see if I can somehow apply this to our design by replacing the road variable with a railing variable or anything of that matter.
