چکیده

This paper will discuss and provide detailed descriptions of unique configurations of small articulated unmanned systems and describe the design of several approaches resulting in substantial increases in autonomous/semi-autonomous mobility and resultant survivability. The greater mobility results from unique chassis configurations which do not require the space claim for human operators. Each human occupant can consume 2 cubic meters of volume. This volume reduction results in a corresponding weight reduction also contributing to mobility enhancements. The UGVs can be designed with less stringent suspension RTO-MP-AVT-146 7 1 UNCLASSIFIED/UNLIMITED UNCLASSIFIED/UNLIMITED Articulated Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) Controlled with Complimentary Semi& Autonomous Mobility Behaviors Lane, G.R.; Reinholtz, C.; Krishnan, M.; Paulik, M.J.; Rayess, N.

The Role of Model Fidelity in Model Predictive Control Based Hazard Avoidance in Unmanned Ground Vehicles Using Lidar Sensors

Unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) are gaining importance and finding increased utility in both military and commercial applications. Although earlier UGV platforms were typically exclusively small ground robots, recent efforts started targeting passenger vehicle and larger size platforms. Due to their size and speed, these platforms have significantly different dynamics than small robots, and the...

A Generic Architecture for Autonomous Uninhabited Vehicles

Research on autonomy is performed for various types of uninhabited vehicles: ground, aerial, surface, underwater and space vehicles. A quick state-of-the-art highlights that industry and research develop their own architectures and that no standard is emerging; few solutions propose architecture adaptive to several types of platform. Autonomous vehicles that move in partially known and dynamic ...
