Design and field testing of a rover with an actively articulated suspension system in a Mars analog terrain

Abstract: This study presents the electromechanical design, the control approach, and the results of a field test campaign with the hybrid wheeled‐leg rover SherpaTT. The rover ranges in the 150 kg class and features an actively articulated suspension system comprising four legs with actively driven and steered wheels at each leg’s end. Five active degrees of freedom are present in each of the legs, resulting in 20 active degrees of freedom for the complete locomotion system. The control approach is based on force measu… Show more

“…(2) Experiments performed in Morocco with Sher-paTT: We performed several experiments with the SherpaTT robot, 43 the HCRU as an additional sensor module, and a differential GPS (D-GPS) module for ground truth pose estimation (see Figure 7). Ground truth digital elevation maps with 4 cm resolution are available for the test site.…”

“…Por este motivo, muchos investigadores han trabajado en el desarrollo de nuevos robots, generando alternativas que incluyen: robots con orugas [11] y múltiples cuerpos [12], robots con patas [13], robots híbridos construidos con varios sistemas de locomoción (por ejemplo: patas y ruedas) [14], robots con mecanismos (como el Rocker-bogie [15]) que le permite amoldarse al terreno sin la adición de actuadores y robots con diferentes sistemas de suspensión [16]. Al respecto, es posible encontrar robots con suspensión pasiva [17], donde los sistemas que la conforman (resorte-amortiguador) no reciben energía desde el exterior.…”

“…Suspensión activa si se adicionan actuadores que permitan introducir o disipar energía del sistema (Reid et al, 2016); y por último, semiactiva si el coeficiente de amortiguamiento en los amortiguadores es modificado por algún medio externo (Funde et al, 2019). Mención aparte merecen los Rovers (Ellery, 2016), que son vehículos destinados a la exploración planetaria que utilizan mecanismos poliarticulados como el llamado Rocker-bogie que pudieran estar combinados con sistemas de suspensión activa (Cordes et al, 2018) o pasiva (Yang et al, 2018).…”
