—An omnidirectional mobile robot is able, kinematically, to move in any direction regardless of current pose. To date, nearly all designs and analyses of omnidirectional robots h...
—The wheel slip ratio is an important state variable in terramechanics research and the control of planetary rovers. Definitions of the slip ratio for a wheel with lugs and metho...
— We present a method for controlling the forward speed and the apex height of a one-legged hopping robot over rough terrain, using a single actuator located at the robot hip. Th...
— An omni-directional moving platform with four wheels is developed and its controller is designed for tracking desired trajectories. The four wheels of the platform are torque c...
