Drivetrain Design, Incorporating Redundancy, for an Autonomous Walking Robot
Conference Paper, Proceedings of ASCE 4th International Conference and Exposition on Engineering, Construction, and Operations in Space (SPACE '94), February, 1994
Abstract
An often overlooked, though critical, component of a mobile robot is the drivetrain. To achieve the ambitious programmatic goals of an extra-terrestrial, planetary robotic explorer, a rover's drivetrain must be both highly efficient and robust. This paper describes the design of the drivetrain for the Daedalus robot. This drivetrain uses a maximally efficient gearing ratio and redundant components to achieve the stated goals of efficiency and reliability.
