This article presents a review of the platform configuration and dynamic of obstacle-
surmounting unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs). For now, unmanned systems have …

Abstract In the RoboCup Middle Size League two teams of mobile robots play soccer
against each other. During the game, agility, ie the ability to quickly change the direction of …

This article proposes the design and development of a novel custom-built, autonomous
scaled multiwheeled vehicle that features an eight-wheel drive and eight-wheel steer …

Earth-contact mechanism (ECM), a type of mechanism to keep the system in contact with the
earth and to move with the terrain changes. This paper uses the virtual equivalent parallel …

It is well known that a multi-axle wheeled robot possesses larger load capability and also
higher drive performance. However, its steering flexibility is degraded due to the large …

This work presents the modeling, control architecture and simulation of a decentralized multi-
robot system for transporting material in a warehouse. Each robot has a task scheduler …

Autonomous navigation with high speed in rough terrain is one of the most challenging tasks
for wheeled robots. To achieve mobility over this terrain, a high agility wheeled robot should …

Here, we report the design of two deterministic observers that exploit the capabilities of a
home-made divergent trinocular visual sensor to sense depth data. The three-dimensional …

New Zealand's economy relies on primary production to a great extent, where use of the
technological advances can have a significant impact on the productivity. Robotics and …

This research proposes a model‐based control of a four‐wheel robotized vehicle based on
its wheel slippage effects. A four‐wheel robot with in‐wheel asynchronous drives is the …
