摘要
This paper discusses the state-of-the-art in the area of mobile robots for outdoor applications with particular attention to extremely rough environments such as those found in volcanic and planetary exploration applications. The paper looks at the area of locomotion, manipulations, sensors, control and navigational methods that are available so that the most appropriate can be identified. The intention is therefore to present a survey paper rather than new research but the applicability of the current technology to such environments will be studied and shortcomings reported. This study is part of an EC project to develop a mobile robot that can inspect active volcano vents. Mt. Etna in Italy will be used as the primary test bed but trials at Stromboli and Montserrat (UK Antilles) are also planned.
