Abstract: The paper is concerned with the design of a system for control of an Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) based on a multi-axle all-wheel drive chassis with hydrostatic wheel drive. A technique is also suggested for improving the efficiency of the driveline system by means of effective control of the hydrostatic drive that improves the energy performance of the wheel robot.
Keywords: UGV; unmanned ground vehicles; motor vehicles; all-wheel drives; multi-axle vehicles; flexible intelligent drives; hydrostatic wheel drives; automatic control; power distribution; hydrostatic driveline system efficiency; energy performance; wheeled robots.
