Slip-based Traction Control of a Planetary Rover
This paper investigates slip-based traction control of a planetary rover that travels over natural rough terrain. Special attention is made on tire-soil traction mechanics and articulated body dynamics. Experiments are carried out with a rover test bed to understand the physical behavior of tire-soil interaction and, thereby, a traction model is investigated using the tire slip ratio as a state...
متن کاملTraversability Index: A New Concept for Planetary Rovers
Daversability Index is introduced in this paper as a new and simple measure for traversabilaty of planetary surfaces by mobile robots. This index is developed using the framework of fuzzy logic, and is expressed by linguistic fuzzy sets that quantify the suitability of the terrain for traverse based on its physical properties, such as slope and roughness. The Ilt.aversability Index is used for ...
متن کاملImproved Traversal for Planetary Rovers through Forward Acquisition of Terrain Trafficability *
Current operations of planetary rovers, especially the planning and execution of traverse operations, rely on human analysis and estimation of non-geometric hazards based on images captured by the rover. Despite the use of advanced path planning algorithms capable of avoiding obstacles, this limits daily traverse distances. This paper presents a system concept for planetary rovers capable of sa...
متن کاملConcept Study for the Faster Micro Scout Rover
In contrast to the present Mars exploration missions future mission concepts ask for a fast and save traverse through vast and varied expanses of terrain. The goal of the FASTER1 project is to improve the mission safety and the effective traverse speed for planetary rover exploration by determining the traversability of the terrain and lowering the risk to enter hazardous areas. In order to ach...
متن کاملNavigation Results from Desert Field Tests of the Rocky 7 Mars Rover
Upcoming missions to the surface of Mars will use mobile robots to traverse long distances from the landing site. To prepare for these missions, the prototype rover, Rocky 7, has been tested in desert field trials conducted with a team of planetary scientists. While several new capabilities have been demonstrated, foremost among these was sun-sensor-based traversal of natural terrain totaling a...
