Kineto-static Analysis of an Articulated Six-wheel Rover
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a kineto-static analysis for an articulated six-wheeled rover called RobuRoc is investigated. A methodology based on reciprocal screw systems is developed for the kinematic modeling and analysis of such multi-monocycle like kinematic structure. A six dimensional force ellipsoid is introduced for the evaluation of traction performances.

متن کاملA General Approach to Kinematics Modeling of
This paper describes a general approach to the kinematics modeling of all-terrain rovers traversing uneven terrain. The model is derived for full six degree of freedom motion enabling movements in x, y, z directions, as well as pitch, roll, and yaw rotations. Differential kinematics is derived for the individual wheel motions in contact with the terrain. The resulting equations of the individua...
متن کاملTerramechanics-based model for steering maneuver of planetary exploration rovers on loose soil
This paper presents analytical models to investigate the steering maneuvers of planetary exploration rovers on loose soil. The models are based on wheel-soil interaction mechanics, or terramechanics, with which the traction and disturbance forces of a wheel are evaluated for various slip conditions. These traction forces are decomposed into the longitudinal and lateral directions of the wheel. ...
