Rough Terrain
"... High-resolution airborne digital cameras with onboard data collection based on the Global Positioning System (GPS) and inertial navigation systems (INS) technology may offer a real-time means to gather accurate topographic map information by reducing ground control and eliminating aerial triangulati ..."

triangulation. Past evaluations of this integrated system over relatively flat terrain have proven successful. The author uses Emerge Digital Sensor System (DSS) combined with Applanix Corporation’s Position and Orientation Solutions for Direct Georeferencing to examine the positional mapping accuracy in rough
Multiresolution Rough Terrain Motion
- IEEE Transactions on robotics and automation
, 1998
"... We describe a new approach to the problem of motion planning for mobile robots on natural, nonhomogenous terrain. Our approach computes a multiresolution representation of the terrain using wavelets, and hierarchically plans the path through sections which are well approximated on coarser levels ..."

on the sorted terrain costs along the path. This measure can be incorporated into standard global path search algorithms and yields intuitively good paths. Additional constraints for specific robots can be integrated into this approach for efficient hierarchical motion planning on rough terrain. We present
Bigdog, the rough-terrain quadruped robot
, 2008
"... Abstract: Less than half the Earth's landmass is accessible to existing wheeled and tracked vehicles. But people and animals using their legs can go almost anywhere. Our mission at Boston Dynamics is to develop a new breed of rough-terrain robots that capture the mobility, autonomy and speed of ..."

Metastable Walking on Stochastically Rough Terrain
"... Abstract — Simplified models of limit-cycle walking on flat terrain have provided important insights into the nature of legged locomotion. Real walking robots (and humans), however, do not exhibit true limit cycle dynamics because terrain, even in a carefully designed laboratory setting, is inevitab ..."

, is inevitably non-flat. Walking systems on stochastically rough terrain may not satisfy strict conditions for limit-cycle stability but can still demonstrate impressively long-living periods of continuous walking. Here, we examine the dynamics of rimless-wheel and compass-gait walking on randomly generated
An Optimization Approach to Rough Terrain Locomotion
"... Abstract — We present a novel approach to legged locomotion over rough terrain that is thoroughly rooted in optimization. This approach relies on a hierarchy of fast, anytime algorithms to plan a set of footholds, along with the dynamic body motions required to execute them. Components within the pl ..."

"... This paper addresses path planning and control of mobile robots in rough terrain environments. Previous research separates path planning and control into two different problems and addresses them in different contexts. Instead, we formulate these issues in connected modules with performance requirem ..."

Learning to Drive Over Rough Terrain
"... This paper addresses the problem of learning to drive a robot over rough terrain as might be found after a disaster such as an earthquake. At present, rescue robots are tele-operated, either under radio control or through a tether. Tethers limit the range of the robot and can become tangled and unde ..."
