  PROTOINNOVATIONS, LLC IS DEVELOPING AN INVENTIVE SYSTEM FOR WHEELED MOBILITY THAT EXPLOITS THE GEOMETRIC AND MECHANICAL ATTRIBUTES OF TENSEGRITY TO ENGAGE WITH THE TERRAIN IN AN EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT MANNER. DUBBED THE TENSEGRITAL WHEEL, THIS UNIQUE WHEEL DESIGN EMULATES THE BEHAVIOR OF A VARIABLE PRESSURE TIRE WITHOUT THE NEED FOR AN INFLATION SYSTEM. THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE TENSEGRITAL WHEEL IS SUCH THAT IT ABSORBS AND DIFFUSES GROUND FORCES EVENLY. THE STIFFNESS OF THE TENSEGRITAL WHEEL CAN BE TUNED TO MATCH THE DEMANDS OF A GIVEN TERRAIN THAT THE WHEEL IS TO OPERATE ON OR CAN BE ADJUSTED ON-THE-FLY. THESE ATTRIBUTES ALLOW FOR BETTER ADAPTATION TO THE TERRAIN THUS INCREASING THE AMOUNT OF THRUST THAT CAN BE GENERATED AT THE WHEEL/GROUND INTERFACE, AND IMPROVING A VEHICLE S DYNAMIC RESPONSE AND OBSTACLE NEGOTIATION. WE ASSERT THAT THE TENSEGRITAL WHEEL CAN BE DESIGNED TO ACHIEVE AN EXCEPTIONAL STRENGTHTO- WEIGHT RATIO AND CAPACITY FOR LONG-LIFE SPECIFICALLY IN THE CONTEXT OF PLANETARY EXPLORATION. IN PHASE I OF THIS SBIR WE PROVED THE FEASIBILITY OF THE CONCEPT THROUGH ANALYSIS, TESTING, AND DEMONSTRATIONS. IN PHASE II WE WILL OPTIMIZE VARIOUS TENSEGRTIAL WHEEL DESIGNS AND ADVANCED THE MATURITY AND READINESS OF THIS SYSTEM FOR FILIGHT WORTHINESS.

• 80NSSC19C0215$750K

  PROTOINNOVATIONS, LLC IS DEVELOPING A ROVER-BASED NON-PREHENSILE MANIPULATION (RBNPM) CONTROL ARCHITECTURE AND ASSOCIATED ALGORITHMS, TOOLS, AND METRICS TO MAXIMIZE THE MOBILE MANIPULATION CAPABILITIES OF ROBOTIC ROVERS USING EXISTING ACTUATED DEGREES-OFFREEDOM (DOF) SUCH AS WHEEL ROTATION OR STEERING. THESE NEW OR IMPROVED CAPABILITIES ALLOW ROVERS TO CHANGE THE ENVIRONMENT AROUND THEM TO IMPROVE TERRAINABILITY, PERFORM NEW SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATIONS, OR ACCOMPLISH BASIC CONSTRUCTION TASKS WITHOUT THE NEED FOR COMPLEX, HIGH-DOF MANIPULATORS. IN PHASE I OF THIS SBIR THE RBNPM CONTROL ARCHITECTURE WAS THOROUGHLY DEVELOPED ALONG WITH METRICS FOR THE EVALUATION OF RBNPM ACTIONS. FUNCTIONAL VALIDATION OF THIS ARCHITECTURE WAS PERFORMED VIA FIELD TESTING ON A ROVER AND IN SIMULATION. PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS OF RBNPM ACTIONS WAS PERFORMED TO VERIFY THE FEASIBILITY OF THE SPECIFIC RBNPM ACTIONS TRENCHING AND DIGGING. RESULTS FROM PHASE I SHOW THAT TRENCHING AND DIGGING BEHAVIORS ARE POSSIBLE ON A ROVER WITH NO DEDICATED TRENCHING OR DIGGING MANIPULATORS. PHASE II OF THIS SBIR WILL TAKE THE DEVELOPMENT FROM OPEN-LOOP RBNPM ACTIONS TO CLOSED-LOOP CONTROLLABLE RBNPM ACTIONS, AND CREATE NEW RBNPM ACTIONS WITH LOW-DOF PASSIVE OR ACTUATED IMPLEMENTS. AT THE END OF PHASE II, A MORE COMPLETE PROTOTYPE RBNPM ARCHITECTURE FOR MOBILE MANIPULATION ALONG WITH CONTROLLERS AND TOOLS FOR SPECIFIC RBNPM ACTIONS WILL BE PRODUCED.
