Development Environment for Optimized Locomotion System of Planetary Rovers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
This paper addresses the first steps that have been undergone to set up the development environement w.r.t optimization and to modelling and simulation of overall dynamics of the rover driving behaviour under all critical surface terrains, like soft and ...

Electro-mechanical transmission modelling for series-hybrid tracked tanks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This paper describes a mathematical model and presents the dynamic analysis of a series-hybrid tracked tank driven by two electric motors, one devoted to propulsion (PM) and the other to steering (SM).

Crater Observing Bioinspired Rolling Articulator (COBRA)

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
Crater Observing Bio‐inspired Rolling Articulator (COBRA) is a modular, snake‐inspired robot that addresses the mobility challenges of extraterrestrial exploration sites such as Shackleton Crater. Incorporating snake‐like gaits and tumbling locomotion, COBRA navigates both uneven surfaces and steep crater walls.

Fast Simulation of Vehicles with Non-deformable Tracks

open access: yes, 2017
This paper presents a novel technique that allows for both computationally fast and sufficiently plausible simulation of vehicles with non-deformable tracks. The method is based on an effect we have called Contact Surface Motion.

Robotic Arm Geomechanical Experiments and Analyses to Enable Lunar Science and Settlement

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 12, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract This study evaluates the capability of a robotic arm equipped with a force‐torque sensor and a specially designed scoop to perform geomechanical characterization of high‐fidelity lunar highlands regolith simulant. Experiments focused on pressure‐sinkage, shear strength, and angle of repose to assess the performance and applicability of the ...

Robust Adaptive Fuzzy Control for Planetary Rovers While Climbing up Deformable Slopes with Longitudinal Slip

open access: yesAdvances in Aerospace Engineering, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Mobility control is one of the most essential parts of planetary rovers’ research and development. The goal of this research is to let the planetary rovers be able to achieve demand of motion from upper level with satisfied control performance under the rough and deformable planetary terrain that often lead to longitudinal slip.

Statistical modelling of a tractor tractive performance during ploughing operation on a tropical Alfisol

open access: yesOpen Agriculture
Tractor is the most prominent off-road agricultural machinery that is significant to the global food security. The tractive modelling of tyre–soil interaction and agricultural implement dynamics is a complex phenomenon that require holistic approach ...

Improving safety of runway overrun through the correct numerical evaluation of rutting in Cleared and Graded Areas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Aircraft overrun is potentially very dangerous to human life. Statistics show that overrun is mainly due to human errors causing loss of control in wheel alignment, high approach speed, and long touchdown.
