Applications
Where ASG applies
ASG is built for the road vehicle first. The same architecture extends to autonomous platforms and to machines outside the car entirely.
In one sentence ASG is one control architecture for any group of distributed electromechanical parts joined by a single energy network. Road vehicles are the focus; autonomy and other domains follow from the same design.
Three places it applies
- 01 The main case Standard vehicles An electric or combustion road vehicle on ASG: one ring for power and data, universal zone modules in place of the ECU set, and the whole vehicle state committed every millisecond. This is where the wiring, cost and integration numbers come from.
- 02 Vector control Autonomous vehicles Autonomous control needs the true state of the whole vehicle at one instant, and every actuator to move together. ASG carries that vehicle vector on a synchronous 1 ms grid, which is why the market moving toward autonomy is moving toward this kind of control.
- 03 Aerospace, robotics Beyond automotive The same synchronous single-ring control applies to any machine whose distributed actuators must act as one body: aircraft, rotorcraft, launch vehicles, and robots. ASG is not tailored for these domains today, but the architecture carries across.
What is the same across all three
The architecture does not change from one application to the next. One ring carries power and data. Control units are universal rather than function-specific, so the same module serves a different role depending on where it sits and what software it runs. Every module reads the whole machine state, rewritten in the same instant every millisecond, with a bounded reaction time that does not grow with the number of modules.
What changes is the machine around it: the number of actuators, the distances involved, the environment, and the safety regime it has to meet. The technology section describes the protocol, the hardware and the timing model that stay constant.
