Author/Presenter: Kochekali, Homayun; Velinsky, Steven A.
Publication Number: UCD-ARR-94-01-05-01
Abstract: This paper reviews the important research and development activities in the subject of Wheeled Mobile Robots (WMRs), in order to evaluate their potential use in highway maintenance and construction tasks. It particularly focuses on mobility as an essential feature for highway maintenance and construction application, which concerns wheel type arrangement, kinematics, dynamics, navigation and control. For each of these areas, aspects related directly to the deployment of WMRs in highway maintenance are discussed.
