7 Lunar Rovers Most of lunar surface is covered with soft soils (regolith). Wheel slippages/skids are unavoidable. Critical situations (immobility due to wheel spin, side slide, or tip over) should be avoided. Maximize the traction performance and power efficiency Modeling and control based on substantial analysis of traction mechanics is important.

10 NASA s Mars Exploration Rovers also experienced difficulty. NASA
11 Do tracks work better than wheels? JAXA
12 Advantages of Tracked Vehicles: Higher slope-climbing capability Higher bump-crossing capability* (*This is only true when the length of the track is larger than a wave length of the bumps.) Disadvantages of Tracked Vehicles: Higher mass and higher energy consumption Higher complexity of mechanism Higher risk of track jamming or other mechanical failures

14 The Sand Box Toyoura-sand: a standard soil in Terramechanics research community 18
15 The Test Beds Mono-Crawler Inline Four-Wheels Length = 400 mm, Width = 40 mm, Weight = 6-18 kg for Crawler: kg/m 2 ( psi) for Wheels: kg/wheel 19
16 The Test Beds Mono-Crawler Inline Four-Wheels Slope Angle: 0 16 degs (physically) 0 30 degs (equivalently) 20

18 Performance Evaluation Slip Ratio s v v v = d = 1 v v d vd : circumference velocity of crawler belt or wheel v : body velocity of the test bed Drawbar Pull (DP) DP = Traction Force - Resistance d Slip Ratio - Drawbar Pull Slip Ratio - Slope Angle 22
19 Q: Is the slope climbing condition equivalently tested by the increased horizontal load? θ = tan 1 F F x z 23
20 Q: Is the slope climbing condition equivalently tested by the increased horizontal load? A: Yes, that seems true as long as no landslide (avalanche) occurs. 24
21 Experimental Result 0 (track) 25
22 Experimental Result 1a (track) 10 9 drawbar pull [kg] slip ratio [ ] 8.8kg 11.8kg 14.8kg 17.8kg The Drawbar Pull increases along with the vertical load Fz. 26
23 Experimental Result 2a (track) slope angle [deg] kg 11.8kg 14.8kg 17.8kg slip ratio [ ] But the ratio of DP/Fz (= slope angle) is not affected by Fz. This fact suggests that the traction force Fx is in proportion to the vertical load Fz (like friction), and the resistance R is relatively small. DP/Fz = Fx/Fz - R 27
24 Experimental Result 3a (track) slope angle[deg] cm/s 4cm/s slip ratio[ ] Velocity dependency is not observed between 2 and 4 cm/s. 28
25 Experimental Result 1b (wheel) track wheel drawbar pull [kg] slip ratio [ ] 8.8kg 11.8kg 14.8kg 17.8kg drawbar pull [kg] slip ratio [ ] 6kg 9kg 12kg Drawbar Pull v.s. Slip Ratio 29
26 Experimental Result 2b (wheel) track wheel slope angle [deg] kg 11.8kg 14.8kg 17.8kg slope angle [deg] kg 9kg 12kg slip ratio [ ] slip ratio [ ] Slope Angle v.s. Slip Ratio 30
27 Experimental Result 1b (wheel) 2.5 drawbar pull [kg] slip ratio [ ] 6kg 9kg 12kg In wheel, DP is not much affected by Fz. This fact suggests that the wheel traction is NOT like friction, because of relatively large the resistance R due to wheel sinkage. DP/Fz = Fx/Fz - R 31

39 Traction Performance of Wheel and Track for Soft-Soil Traversal Introduction Research Setup The Sand Box The Test Beds Traction Performance Evaluation Experimental Results for Wheel v.s. Track How can we improve the wheel traction? Summary
40 Summary The traction performance was experimentally studied to compare track (mono-crawler) and wheel (inline wheels). The slope climbing condition was equivalently tested by the increased horizontal load. The track showed higher performance than wheels. The track performance can be modeled like a surface friction, with very small sinkage related resistance. The wheel performance is largely disturbed by the wheel sinkage. But the performance of the wheels can be improved with grater diameter and width, which resulting in smaller sinkage.
