Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] The statements in this section merely refer to the background art related to this invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.
[0003] Electric power steering (EPS) systems combine mechanical steering systems with a controlled electric motor, using the electric motor as the power source and an electronic control unit (ECU) as the core. The ECU determines the steering assist torque value based on vehicle speed and torque sensor signals, and then drives the motor to provide auxiliary steering force via a motor drive component. Compared to traditional steering systems, EPS systems are simpler in structure, more flexible, and can achieve ideal steering assist characteristics, adapting to changes in driving conditions. They also offer advantages in handling comfort, safety, and energy efficiency. However, current research on EPS systems mainly focuses on their assist characteristics, with structural design relying heavily on designer experience. Existing technologies suffer from high time costs in structural design, and current EPS systems exhibit low sensitivity, weak road feel, and a poor driving experience. Summary of the Invention
