Leveling of the AMBLER Walking Machine: A Comparison of Methods.
TL;DR: In this paper, the effectiveness of four different strategies are evaluated for body attitude control on an orthogonally-decoupled machine and the simulation of these methods and their implementation on the AMBLER are reported.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Configuring innovative regolith moving techniques for lunar outposts
TL;DR: In this paper, a simulated task model that accounts for the special requirements of excavating in the harsh lunar environment, is presented, which is used to quantitatively compare excavation systems according to key metrics including production ratio.

Effect of Tire Design and Steering Mode on Robotic Mobility in Barren Terrain
TL;DR: The experimental results show that power and torque for skid and explicit turning degenerate to equal values at infinite radius (straight driving), and as the turn radius decreases from that of straight driving to that of a point turn, greaterPower and torque are necessary as larger slip angles are induced.

Sociodemographic disparities in non-diabetic hyperglycaemia and the transition to type 2 diabetes: evidence from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing.
Georgia Chatzi,Thomas Mason,Tarani Chandola,William Whittaker,Elizabeth Howarth,Sarah Cotterill,Rathi Ravindrarajah,Emma McManus,Matt Sutton,Peter Bower +9 more
TL;DR: To explore whether there are social inequalities in non‐diabetic hyperglycaemia (NDH) and in transitions to type 2 diabetes mellitus and NDH low‐risk status in England, a large number of studies have found that there are.
