Abstract:For the first time in realm of power study of off‐road wheeled robots, this study deals with motion power loss due to slippage of robot wheels traversed on slippery terrain. For this purpose, effects of slippery terrain type (solid balls with diameter of 0.0127, 0.0254, and 0.0508 m), tire air pressure (20.68, 34.47, and 55.16 kPa), and robot forward speed (0.17, 0.33, and 0.5 m/s) on the power loss were characterized. Derived results proved that the increasing effect of slippery terrain type on the power loss… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
