The Adaptive Suspension Vehicle
Waldron_Adaptive.pdf (271.3Kb)Abstract
This paper provides a description of the Adaptive Suspension Vehicle. The vehicle uses a legged, rather than a wheeled or tracked, locomotion principle, and is intended to demonstrate the feasibility
of systems of this type for transportation in
very rough terrain conditions. The vehicle is
presently under test, with installation and
validation of software modules for different
operational conditions scheduled for completion by the end of 1986.
