Terramechanical analysis of rover wheel mobility over simulated Martian terrain at various slip conditions and vertical loads
… expected forces and torques on a rover's drive wheels while traveling across unfamiliar Martian terrain. However, experimental testing must be done in order to validate this theoretical model. A test rig was developed by MIT's Robotic Mobility Group to measure the forces and torques on a single …

Experimental Evaluation and Semi-Empirical Modeling of the Tractive Performance of Rigid and Flexible Wheels on Lunar Soil Simulant
Understanding the effects of various wheel parameters on tractive performance is not completely understood. In order to properly quantify the individual effects of wheel parameters on the mobility of rigid and flexible wheels in soft soil, tests were performed, in cooperation with NASA Glenn …

Torque control strategy for off-road vehicle mobility.
Multi-wheeled off-road vehicles behavior depend not only on the total provided power by the engine but also on the power distribution among the drive axles/wheels. In turn, this distribution is primarily regulated by the drivetrain layout and the torque distribution devices. At the output of the …
