Scientific video: Modeling the locomotion of track robot over rigid surfaces.

This paper models the locomotion of a robot fitted with flexible rubber tracks while driving and climbing over rigid horizontal and inclined surfaces.
Sliding occurs much more frequently than we thought and influences the turning radius and speed.
