Terradynamically streamlined shapes in animals and robots enhance traversability through densely cluttered terrain.
Many animals, modern aircraft, and underwater vehicles use fusiform, streamlined body shapes that reduce fluid dynamic drag to achieve fast and effective locomotion in air and water. Similarly, numerous small terrestrial animals move through cluttered terrain where three-dimensional, multi-component obstacles like grass, shrubs, vines, and leaf litter also resist motion, but it is unknown wheth...
متن کاملTerrain Parameter Estimation and Traversability Assessment for Mobile Robots
The estimation of terrain characteristics is an important missions of Martian exploration rovers. Since only limited resources and human supervision are available, efficient and autonomous method of estimation are required. In this thesis, an on-line estimation method of two important terrain parameters, cohesion and internal friction angle, is developed. The method uses onboard rover sensors a...
متن کاملEvaluation of Uneven Terrain Traversability for Wheeled Mobile Robots by Fractal Terrain Model
Planetary rover should be designed so that it can travel on uneven terrains robustly under several limitations such as size, weight, costs, etc. However, it is difficult to get precise or whole terrain information beforehand to check the performance of the designed rover. In this paper, we propose a simulation model of uneven terrains based on fractional Brownian motions (fBm’s) for evaluating ...
متن کاملTraversability Metrics For Urban Search and Rescue Robots On Rough Terrain
Rough terrain, such as the rubble that we would expect to find in urban disaster areas, will likely impede robot mobility. The goal of this paper is to find methods for quantifying the difficulty a robot should encounter traversing a region of rough terrain. We construct three metrics describing rough terrain robot mobility. In order to simplify the problem we assume that the rough terrain in q...
متن کاملTerrain Traversability Analysis for off-road robots using Time-Of-Flight 3D Sensing
Traversability estimation is a challenging problem, as in a non-structured environment one should consider both the terrain characteristics, such as slopes, vegetation, rocks, soils, etc. and the robot mobility characteristics, i.e. locomotion method, wheels, etc [9,10]. It is thus required to analyse, in real-time, the 3D characteristics of the terrain and pair this data to the robot capabilit...
