Heterogeneous Drive Mechanisms For Novel Locomotion In Rough Terrain, Roy Godzdanker
Heterogeneous Drive Mechanisms For Novel Locomotion In Rough Terrain, Roy Godzdanker
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The smaller the robot the easier it is for it to access voids in a collapsed structure, however small size brings a host of other problems related to constrained resources. One of the primary constraints on small robots is limited motive power to surmount obstacles and navigate rough terrain. This thesis examines the addition of bulk motive force actuators to existing locomotion platforms and the impact of these heterogeneous actuators on conventional steering methods. The steering methods examined are those associated with skid steered vehicles and differential drive vehicles. In developing the Crabinator, a robot composed of a limbed crawler …
