Turning Efficiency Prediction for Skid Steer Robots Using Single Wheel Testing

To date, most field robots use wheels as their means of locomotion (especially true of planetary exploration robots). In many cases these robots are required to travel significant distances, with limited power, and over rough terrain. All of which make wheels a major component contributing to their performance. It is through experimentation and iteration that effective wheel design, for a given...

Learning the Forward Predictive Model for an Off-Road Skid-Steer Vehicle

A forward predictive model is used to simulate a vehicle's motion given a sequence of commands that could potentially be executed. Generally, forward predictive models are used by planning systems for Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV's) so that commands can be selected such that obstacles are avoided. This report presents a data-driven approach for learning a forward predictive model based on prev...

Synthetic promoter design for new microbial chassis

The judicious choice of promoter to drive gene expression remains one of the most important considerations for synthetic biology applications. Constitutive promoter sequences isolated from nature are often used in laboratory settings or small-scale commercial production streams, but unconventional microbial chassis for new synthetic biology applications require well-characterized, robust and or...

Design of a Winston Cup Chassis for Torsional Stiffness

Race teams are interested in understanding the influence of the various structural members on the torsional stiffness of a NASCAR Winston Cup race car chassis. In this work we identify the sensitivity of individual structural members on the torsional stiffness of a baseline chassis. A high sensitivity value indicates a strong influence on the torsional stiffness of the overall chassis. Results ...
