This short course will review the methods for measuring and modeling surface interactions on non-terrestrial environments. The focus will be on soil mechanics and terramechanics techniques for assessing robot mobility over unknown terrains. Engineers, scientists and students are encouraged to attend.
Speakers
- Ray Arvidson – Washington University
- Robert C.Anderson – JPL
- Jose Andrade – Caltech
- Karl Iagnemma – MIT
