Wheeled hopping mobility
Gary J. Fischer · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 2005
Sandia National Laboratories has developed a mesoscale wheeled hopping vehicle (WHV) to overcome the longstanding problems of mobility and power in small scale unmanned vehicles. The system provides mobility in situations such as negotiating obstacles in the vertical dimension and rough terrain that are prohibitive for other small ground base vehicles.
