The discrete element method (DEM) has been widely used to simulate varied sand particles interacting with earthmoving machines. However, past research using DEM barely addressed accurate verification and validation for different sand moisture content. Therefore, the main purpose of this paper is to reveal the range of key parameters of an adhesive force model used in the DEM simulation corresponding to the specific sand moisture content. We considered the bulldozing phenomenon to be typical earthmoving work and performed the bulldozing experiments under different sand moisture levels to investigate the bulldozing force variations. Subsequently, the DEM simulation with an adhesive force model calculated the bulldozing force corresponding to the experimental results. The values for two adhesive parameters, i.e., a scaling magnitude and the maximum adhesive distance between particles, were adjusted such that the maximum bulldozing force calculated in the DEM coincides with that of the experiments under different moisture contents. The experimental verification of the DEM revealed the relationship curves between these two key parameters corresponding to the different moisture content. The relationship obtained in this paper implies that the DEM simulation carefully adjusting the adhesive force parameters can reproduce machine interaction on moist sand environments accurately.

<p>Tracked vehicles has been widely used in unstructured environments such as on uneven/deformable terrains. The mobility of the track unit consisting of interconnected metal plates is the key to enhance the safety of the vehicle. This study focuses on the track and soil interaction, particularly the wetted soil. The Distinct Element Method is applied for analyzing the interaction stress between the track and soil with varied moisture content and slip ratio. The analysis revealed that the significant stress is generated to the leading edge of the track unit and the stress distribution shifts toward the rear region of the track in moist soil. </p>

Studying the gravity-dependent characteristics of regolith, fine-grained granular media covering extra-terrestrial bodies is essential for the reliable design and analysis of landers and rovers for space exploration. In this study, we propose an experimental approach to examine a granular flow under stable artificial gravity conditions for a long duration generated by a centrifuge at the International Space Station. We also perform a discrete element simulation of the granular flow in both artificial and natural gravity environments. The simulation results verify that the granular flows in artificial and natural gravity are consistent. Further, regression analysis of the experimental results reveals that the mass flow rate of granular flow quantitatively follows a well-known physics-based law with some deviations under low-gravity conditions, implying that the bulk density of the granular media decreases with gravity. This insight also indicates that the bulk density considered in simulation studies of space probes under low-gravity conditions needs to be tuned for their reliable design and analysis.

Path Planning Method for Soil Investigation using Mobile Robot

<p>A lunar landing base is a key infrastructure for mass transportation from Earth to the Moon and for sustainable activities on the Moon in the future. Unmanned robots are expected to survey the soil stiffness of multiple points for securely constructing the landing infrastructure. There is a trade-off between the time or energy required for the survey, the number of survey points, and the completeness of the survey. This paper proposes a path planning for robotic soil investigation that determines the location and the number of additional survey points. The proposed method aims to obtain completeness of information related to the soil stiffness as well as to reduce the survey time. The simulation study reveals that the method achieves obtaining a certain level of completeness while it reduces the time required for the survey. </p>

Energy-and-perception-aware planning and navigation framework for unmanned aerial vehicles

This paper presents an energy and perception aware framework for path planning and navigation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in GNSS-denied and spatiotemporal wind environments. The proposed framework mainly consists of the global and local path planning methods that respectively consider the energy consumption of an UAV and perception quality of a light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensor mounted on the UAV. The energy consumption is estimated based on the aerodynamic model that calculates drag and lift forces on the UAV. The global planner then uses the total energy consumption in the spatiotemporal wind as the cost function to find an energy-efficient path as a set of waypoints. The local path planning navigates the UAV between the waypoints with maintaining the perception quality. The perception quality is quantified based on how well the LiDAR sensor scans feature points around the UAV that highly correlates with the navigation accuracy. Numerical simulation study for each of the global and local path planners validates their usefulness. Further, the overall framework is entirely verified in a long-range flight scenario of the photorealistic environments developed in the Gazebo simulation.
