This paper describes a novel vehicle platform under construction at DRES which is designed to exhibit greatly enhanced mobility by employing hybrid running gear. The paper discusses the Articulated Navigation Testbed (ANT) and the considerations which determined its configuration and capabilities. First, as strictly an unmanned vehicle, it must employ teleoperation or some level of autonomous control. Second, it is to possess superior off-road mobility when compared to more conventional vehicles. Increased mobility reduces the computational workload needed to operate in a highly unstructured off-road environment. Third, it must be adaptable and have a flexible mission architecture. By maximizing modularity of the vehicle systems, the design team believes the resultant vehicle will provide a generically mobile chassis upon which DRES researchers can take robotics out of the lab and into the field. |
