Motion and Energy Efficiency Parameters of the Unmanned Ground Vehicle

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper investigates the data acquisition method and a system of wheeled mobile unmanned ground vehicles (UGV) for characterization and optimization of motion and energy efficiency. This enables to conduct real-time and conditional field tests. The obtained results are used for an advanced methodology framework for robotic design targeted on the development, simulation and testing of vehicle platforms along the entire design process.
