Ambler: a six-legged planetary rover

Conference Paper, Proceedings of 5th International Conference on Advanced Robotics (ICAR '91), pp. 717 - 722, June, 1991

Abstract

The goal of the planetary rover project is to prototype an autonomous mobile robot for planetary exploration. The authors have constructed a six-legged walking robot, called the Ambler, that features orthogonal legs, an overlapping gait, and a scanning laser rangefinder to model terrain. To enable the Ambler to walk over rugged terrain, they have combined perception, planning, and real-time control into a comprehensive robotic system.
