CAN: Controller area network. A communication bus standard for industrial and automotive applications. Dead reckoning: The process of estimating the current position by advancing a previously determined position using inertial or speed measurements. Dead reckoning generally relies on measuring derivatives, meaning that the error will drift without an upper bound if no absolute measurements, e.g., GNSS, are used

FOC: Field Oriented Control (see [12])

GNSS: Global Navigation Satellite System

GUI: Graphical User Interface

HIL: Hardware-In-the-Loop

IMU: Inertial Measurement Unit. Achip that can measure acceleration and angular velocity with three axes each

MPC: Model predictive control (see [2])

Odometry: Tracking the rotation of the wheels. In our case this is done by tracking the rotation of the motor

PCB: Printed circuit board. A printed circuit board is a laminated sandwich structure of conductive and insulating layers.

PMSM: Permanent magnet synchronous motor. A three-phase motor without brushes, often referred to as BLDC motor

PPS: Pulse per second. A pulse that is emitted with accurate timing in the beginning of each second, synchronized to GNSS time

RTK-SN: Real-time kinematic satellite navigation (see [15, 16])

SVM: Space vector modulation (see [13])

SWD: Serial wire debug. A programming and debugging interface.
