Traction of Interlocking Spikes on a Granular Material
Volker Nannen, Damian Bover
The interlock drive system generates traction by inserting narrow articulated spikes into the ground and by leveraging the soil's strength to resist horizontal draft forces. The sy…
Lateral Stability of Vehicle with Interlocking Spikes
Volker Nannen, Damian Bover
The interlock drive system generates traction by penetrating narrow articulated spikes into the ground and by using the strength of the deeper soil layers to resist horizontal draf…
Integrated Sensing and Earthmoving Vehicle for Lunar Landing Pad Construction
Volker Nannen, Damian Bover, Dieter Zöbel
Reducing the forces necessary to construct projects like landing pads and blast walls is possibly one of the major drivers in reducing the costs of establishing lunar settlements.…
Design, modelling and control of a novel agricultural robot with interlock drive system
David Reiser, Volker Nannen, Gero Hubel +1
A current problem in the design of small and lightweight autonomous agricultural robots is how to create sufficient traction on soil to pull an agricultural implement or load. One…
