Abstract

SuperBot is a modular, multifunctional and reconfigurable robotic system built for NASA applications. This paper reports the design of the 20 SuperBot modules and experimental results for multifunctional behaviors of a rolling track configuration, including a long-distance (1km) running and a steep sand dune climbing. These behaviors of a single rolling track demonstrate the multifunctional capability and endurance of the SuperBot system and also its ability to work in a rough environment condition.
