Terrain Mapping and Control Optimization for a 6-Wheel Rover with Passive Suspension
Rough terrain control optimization for space rovers has become a popular and challenging research field. Improvements can be achieved concerning power consumption, reducing the risk of wheels digging in and increasing ability of overcoming obstacles. In this paper, we propose a terrain profiling and wheel speed adjustment approach based on terrain shape estimation. This terrain estimation is pe...
متن کاملDesign of Rover Wheel Testing Apparatus
A Rover’s wheel performance is one of the limiting factors in its ability to successfully traverse other planets. More research focusing on wheel materials, design, and optimized tread patterns needs to be conducted so that a rover can reach more of its potential. A wheel test bed is being fabricated to test new wheel designs and to collect data which will be used to map the relationship betwee...
متن کاملDon't break a leg: running birds from quail to ostrich prioritise leg safety and economy on uneven terrain
Cursorial ground birds are paragons of bipedal running that span a 500-fold mass range from quail to ostrich. Here we investigate the task-level control priorities of cursorial birds by analysing how they negotiate single-step obstacles that create a conflict between body stability (attenuating deviations in body motion) and consistent leg force-length dynamics (for economy and leg safety). We ...
متن کاملWalking on Uneven Terrain
Control of legged locomotion across uneven terrain is poorly understood from a theoretical perspective, despite strong relevance to clinical and robotic applications. Gait research has typically examined locomotion on smooth and level surfaces with uniform steps. Identifying key gait parameters that permit agile locomotion across uneven surfaces could lead to a clearer understanding of control ...
متن کاملDesign of an All-Terrain Rover
Ever since the onset of robotics, humans have been finding increasingly clever ways to traverse harsher terrain. There have traditionally been two defined robotic locomotion methods: wheels and legs. This paper describes the design and construction process of a third, new type of All-Terrain Rover (ATR) that uses a hybrid design involving both wheels and legs. The ATR consists of four wheels, w...
