Proposal of walking to reduce slipping behavior using compaction effect of loose soil caused by a propagation of vibration for small light lunar planetary exploration rovers with legs

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2020
Purpose of our research is to improve the movement performance of small leg typed rovers using effects caused by vibration propagation. When the loose ground is given vibration, there are two effects.

CISRU: a robotics software suite to enable complex rover-rover and astronaut-rover interaction

open access: yesCoRR, 2023
The CISRU project has focused on the development of a software suite for planetary (and terrestrial) robotics, fully abstracted from the robotic platform and enabling interaction between rovers and astronauts in complex tasks and non-structured scenarios.

Exploring a bumblebee-inspired power-optimal flapping-wing design for hovering on Mars based on a surrogate model

open access: yesJournal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2020
While rovers are of importance for Mars exploration in terms of various surveillance, surface rovers may encounter great challenges due to rough terrain and complex turbulent environment on Mars partly because aerial vehicles have difficulties to stay ...

Experimental investigation of relationship between bearing capacity and vibration parameters for planetary exploration legged rovers

open access: yesROBOMECH Journal, 2023
In recent years, robots with leg mechanisms have received considerable attention as high-running planetary exploration rovers. Rovers undertaking planetary exploration require outstanding running performance to travel on loose ground on which they mostly

An embarrassingly simple approach for visual navigation of forest environments

open access: yesFrontiers in Robotics and AI, 2023
Navigation in forest environments is a challenging and open problem in the area of field robotics. Rovers in forest environments are required to infer the traversability of a priori unknown terrains, comprising a number of different types of compliant ...

Study on locomotion systems of lunar exploration roverson loose soil

open access: yesStudies in Science and Technology, 2012
In future lunar exploration missions, lunar rovers are required to traverse over very rough terrain. On the lunar surface, there are covered with soils, which are named regolith. Regolith is easy to slide.

A Proposal for Long-Term Missions of Small Lunar Rovers Using an MLI Curtain System

open access: yesInternational Journal of Aerospace Engineering, 2019
This paper proposes a lunar night survival method for small rovers using an MLI (Multilayer Insulation) curtain system for long-term missions. Until recently, it was difficult to install RHU (Radioisotope Heating Units) or other temperature maintenance ...
