Towards Autonomous Mobile Robots for the Exploration of Steep Terrain
[chapter]
2015
Springer Tracts in Advanced Robotics
Preserved Fulltext
Unlike other systems for exploration in steep terrain, vScout has demonstrated autonomous operation on steep surfaces by making use of a network of reusable paths and visual teach & repeat. ...
Steep, natural terrain offers excellent opportunities for scientific investigations into the composition and history of Mars and other planetary bodies. ...
The Axel rover [11] , in particular, is a robot for steep terrain that has been developed for space exploration. With vScout we are taking a different approach. ...

This paper presents the conceptual study for speed control of geophysical measurement platform for archaeological prospection on challenging terrain using a fuzzy logic approach. ...
Secondly, the behavior-based strategy has a modular structure that can be extended to incorporate new behaviors. The experiments are implemented on a Lego robot to test the proposed approach. ...
The first rule implies that when the terrain is difficult to travel by the mobile platform (for example, the road is rocky and steep), then the fuzzy rule set for traverse-terrain assigns a high weighting ...
