Revisiting Scaling Laws for Robotic Mobility in Granular Media

RA-L 2020

The development, building, and testing of robotic vehicles for applications in deformable media can be costly. Typical approaches rely on full-sized builds empirically evaluating performance metrics such as drawbar pull and slip. Recently developed granular scaling laws offer a new opportunity for t

Screw-Powered Propulsion in Granular Media: An Experimental and Computational Study

ICRA 2018poster

Screw-Propelled Vehicles (SPV's) have been widely used for terrestrial applications such as transportation over mud, snow, and amphibious environments. Similar vehicles have also been applied to industrial processes such as dewatering. Typical designs rely on a large pontoon shaft and relatively sma…
