Field Assessment of Force Torque Sensors for Planetary Rover Navigation
Description
Proprioceptive sensors on planetary rovers serve for state estimation and for understanding terrain and locomotion performance. While inertial measurement units (IMUs) are widely used to this effect, force-torque sensors are less explored for planetary navigation despite their potential to directly measure interaction forces and provide insights into traction performance. This paper presents an evaluation of the performance and use cases of force-torque sensors based on data collected from a six
