lenkbares

Lenkbares is a German adjective meaning capable of being steered. It describes objects, devices, or systems whose direction, trajectory, or path can be controlled by an operator or automatic control mechanism. The term is commonly used in technical and engineering contexts to indicate that steering or guidance is possible under defined inputs.

Linguistic note: Lenkbar is the base form, and lenkbares is the neuter singular nominative or accusative form used when the adjective modifies a neuter noun. Other declined forms follow standard adjective declension in German (das lenkbare Fahrzeug, des lenkbaren Fahrzeugs, dem lenkbaren Fahrzeug, die lenkbaren Systeme, etc.).

Technical usage: In engineering, robotics, and control theory, lenkbar describes systems with controllability—the property that appropriate inputs can drive the system from an initial state to a desired state within given constraints. This can refer to mechanical steering, electronic steering-by-wire, or any control mechanism that directs motion or orientation. The concept is closely related to but broader than mere steering hardware, encompassing the ability to influence motion through actuators, sensors, and control algorithms.

Applications and examples: Lenkbares concepts appear in automotive technology (vehicles with steerable wheels or steer-by-wire systems), aerospace (steerable orientation of modules or satellites), and mobile robotics (robots whose trajectories are guided by control inputs). The term is also used in more abstract discussions of navigability and controllability in dynamic systems.
