Insects are good examples of ground locomotion because they can adapt their gait pattern to propel them in any direction, over uneven terrain, in a stable manner. Nevertheless, replicating such locomotion skills to a legged robot is not a straightforward...

Lateral overturns are the most frequent fatal accidents involving tractors. A tractor being able to travel safely on uneven or sloped terrain is still an open field of investigation. The design concept of a four-wheel-drive tractor that can traverse hill...

A rollator, one of the most widely used among walking assistance devices, can assist the elderly with stable walking in their daily lives. In this study, we investigated how the structural characteristics of two types of rollators affect the upper and lo...

Deep-sea mining vehicles (DSMVs) are highly prone to sinking and slippage when traveling on extremely soft seafloor sediments. In addition, DSMVs can be vulnerable to dangerous situations such as overturning due to the non-homogeneous characteristic of t...

This paper addresses the lack of ?push-button? software for optical marine imaging, which currently limits the use of photogrammetric approaches by a wider community. It presents and reviews an open source software, Matisse, for creating textured 3D mode...

With the feet of a biped robot attached insecurely to a terrain, its stability is strongly affected by the characteristics of the terrain on which it runs. Therefore, for stable bipedal running, online motion control based on the states of the robot and ...

We propose a mechanical design for a simple teleoperated unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) to negotiate uneven terrain. UGVs are typically classified into legged, legged-wheeled, wheeled, and tanked forms. Legged vehicles can significantly shift their center...

Multifractal theory provides a reliable method for the scientific quantification of the geomorphological features of basins. However, most of the existing research has investigated small and medium-sized basins rather than complex and large basins. In th...

When 3D laser scanning (LIDAR) is used for navigation of autonomous vehicles operated on unstructured terrain, it is necessary to register the acquired point cloud and accurately perform point cloud reconstruction of the terrain in time. This paper propo...
