Co-simulation of complex robotic systems allows the different components to be modeled and simulated independently using methods and tools tailored to their nature and time-scale, which makes the implementation process more modular and flexible. Some applications require the use of non-iterative cou
An important element of wheeled robot operations on uneven and unstructured terrain is the ability to overcome obstacles. In this letter, we deal with a part of this obstacle negotiation problem. We particularly investigate the ability of a wheeled robot, originating from its mechanical design, to s
State estimation is crucial for exploration rovers. It provides the pose and velocity of the rover by processing measurements from onboard sensors. Classical wheel odometry only employs encoder measurements of the two wheels in the differential drive. As a consequence, input noise can lead to large
