The use of ground-based robotic systems for the characterisation of nuclear environments is
reviewed. Almost since the dawn of the nuclear energy industry, man has somewhat …

Intelligent machines were developed in various sectors including agriculture to ameliorate
the problem of labor shortage especially the skilled ones. Due to concern about the …

The lunar nearside has been investigated by many uncrewed and crewed missions, but the
farside of the Moon remains poorly known. Lunar farside exploration is challenging because …

Resistance coefficient (RC) is an important measure when designing wheel-driving
mechanisms and accurate dynamic models for real-time mobility control of wheeled mobile …

The zero-velocity update (ZUPT) algorithm provides valuable state information to maintain
the inertial navigation system (INS) reliability when stationary conditions are satisfied …

This chapter explores the emerging field of quantum robotics and its innovative applications
in the healthcare or medical ecosystem. Quantum robotics combines the principles of …

Elucidation of power characteristics of an unmanned tracked vehicle for autonomous
transportation of agricultural payloads in greenhouse constructions leads to appearance of …

This article presents the design, control, and implementation of a novel four-legged rover for
planetary exploration. A novel active-passive coupled leg mechanism is proposed for the …

Celestial bodies such as the Moon and Mars are mainly covered by loose, granular soil, a
notoriously challenging terrain to traverse with (wheeled) robotic systems. Here, we present …

This paper is the first comparative study described results of locomotion system performance
of ground mobile robots (wheeled and tracked tractor robots) in agricultural drawbar works …
