Guidance and Actuation Techniques for an Adaptively Controlled Vehicle

Abstract

This technical report describes the progress for the first six months of a twelve month project to support the Adaptive-Suspension Vehicle program. The Battelle project consists of two major tasks. The first task relates to vehicle guidance; the objective is to derive a method to enable an active- suspension vehicle to traverse rough terrain. The second task is concerned with actuation techniques for the legs on the vehicle, specifically an in-depth analysis, design, and demonstration of the shank hydraulic circuit. This report describes progress on the development of guidance algorithms and the shank hydraulic circuit.
