Abstract Mobile robots are increasingly being developed for high-risk missions in rough terrain situations, such as planetary exploration. Here a rough-terrain control (RTC) methodology is presented that exploits the actuator redundancy found in multi-wheeled mobile robot systems to improve ground traction and reduce power consumption. The methodology “chooses” an optimization criterion based on the local terrain profile. A key element of the method is to be able to estimate the wheel-ground contact angles. A method using an extended Kalman filter is presented for estimating these angles using simple on-board sensors. Simulation results for a wheeled micro-rover traversing Mars-like terrain demonstrate the effectiveness of the algorithms.

The critical need to identify children with hearing loss and provide treatment at the earliest possible age has become increasingly apparent in recent years (Northern & Downs, 1978). Reduction of the auditory signal during the critical language-learning period can severely limit the child's potential for developing a complete, effective communication system. Identification and treatment of children having handicapping conditions at an early age has gained impetus through the Handicapped Children's Early Education Program (HCEEP) projects funded by the Bureau of Education for the Handicapped (BEH).
