Through their ability to navigate and perform tasks in unstructured environments, robots
have made their way into applications like farming, earth moving, waste clean-up and …

This article addresses the issue of enhancing mobility of actively actuated vehicles by the
use of optimal force distribution, and by actively controlling the location of the center of mass …

This paper describes a hybrid mobility system that combines the advantages of both legged
and wheeled locomotion. The legs of the hybrid mobility system permit it to surmount …

Research on walking vehicles and variable configuration wheeled vehicles is reviewed. The
central feature of the vehicles discussed is terrain adaptive capability. The principal …

This paper presents a computational framework for efficiently simulating the dynamics and
hydrodynamics of Underwater Robotic Vehicle (URV) systems. Through the use of object …

This manuscript contains descriptions of the kinematic configuration, the mechanical
systems, and the sensing, control and actuation sub-systems of the Wheeled Actively …

The use of variable configuration vehicles creates the possibility of direct control of the
contact forces between the foot or wheel of a vehicle and the ground. That control is an …
