C.1 Tracked robot
Tracked robots walk on continuous tracks instead of wheels, and their main advantage is that they can be used to navigate on rough terrains [26,70]. The thrust force developed by a wheeled vehicle will generally be less than the thrust force generated by a comparable tracked vehicle [70], which is the reason why they are used in a wide variety of applications where the terrain conditions are difficult or unpredictable, such as [26,62]:
- • Urban recognition.
- • Silviculture.
- • Mining.
- • Farming.
- • Rescue mission scenarios.
- • Autonomous planetary explorations. ...
