Considerations for and Implementations of Deliberative and Reactive Motion Planning Strategies for the Novel Actuated Rimless Spoke Wheel Robot IMPASS for the Two-Dimensional Sagittal Plane
IMPASS is a novel spoke-wheel robot invented by researchers at the Robotics and Mechanisms Lab (RoMeLa) at Virginia Tech. The robot is driven by a rimless spoke wheel which can alter the length of any given spoke in the hub. This form of novel locomotion combines the efficiency of a wheeled robot …

Kinematics Analysis of Two Parallel Locomotion Mechanisms
… of the robot. The actuated spoke wheel robot IMPASS (Intelligent Mobility Platform with Active Spoke System) is investigated as the second case. It is revealed that this robot has multiple modes of locomotion on the ground and it is able to change its topology by changing the contact scheme of …
