Kinematics model of bionic wheel-legged lunar rover and its simulation analysis

open access: yes, 2009
Based on the principle of double-half-revolution mechanism, a new-style bionic wheel-legged lunar rover was designed in this paper. Its mobile mechanism is comprised of four identical wheel-legged mechanisms, rover body bracket and steering brackets, etc.

Under the cover of darkness: Foraging behaviour increases on cloudy, new moon nights in a pelagic seabird

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
While many visual predators feed exclusively during the day, others exploit foraging opportunities at night, although the efficiency with which they do so is strongly influenced by ambient light levels. We investigated the influence of variation in nocturnal light on the foraging behaviour of a small pelagic seabird, the European Storm‐petrel ...

An Incremental Orthophoto Map Stitching and Risk Anticipation Method for Continuous Teleoperated Lunar Rover Driving

open access: yesNanjing Hangkong Hangtian Daxue Xuebao
Teleoperated driving is an important approach for efficient lunar rover exploration. However, communication delays may cause a temporal mismatch between environmental perception and command execution, increasing safety risks during rover operation.

Coordinated motion control model of a six-wheeled rocker lunar rover

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering, 2016
At present, control methods of the six-wheeled rocker lunar rover primarily consist of setting the same driving parameters for each wheel. This type of control method ignores the multiple active driving characteristics of the lunar rover and causes ...

Lunar Surface Fault-Tolerant Soft-Landing Performance and Experiment for a Six-Legged Movable Repetitive Lander

open access: yesSensors, 2021
The cascading launch and cooperative work of lander and rover are the pivotal methods to achieve lunar zero-distance exploration. The separated design results in a heavy system mass that requires more launching costs and a limited exploration area that ...

Effects of 14 days of head‐down bed rest with or without exercise, and subsequent recovery on bone turnover, density and structure in older adults

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bed rest accelerates bone loss and may exacerbate skeletal fragility. This study examined the effects of 14 days of head‐down tilt bed rest (HDBR) with or without exercise, and subsequent recovery, on bone turnover, density and structure in older adults. Twenty‐two healthy older adults (55–65 years) completed the HDBR protocol.

From Flybys to Sample Return: A Review of Space Probes and Robotic Sampling Technologies for Small Bodies

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 7, Page 4475-4514, October 2026.
ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full
