Articulated elastic-loop roving vehicles
Abstract
Prototype vehicle features exceptional obstacle-negotiating and slope-climbing capabilities plus high propulsive efficiency. Concept should interest designers of polar or ocean-bottom research vehicles. Also, its large footprint and low ground pressure will minimize ecological damage on terrain with low bearing strength, as in off-the-road application.
