Abstract

This paper deals with kinetic behavior of lunar explorer with tire-soil traction mechanism. Experiments are performed to observe the physical dynamics between soils and wheels. The performance of the mobility is discussed based on experiments by changing some parameters, the velocity, the load and the slope. This paper also studies the traction control scheme for wheeled robot. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is shown by some experiments.
