Investigation Into Use of Piezoelectric Sensors in a Wheeled Robot Tire For Surface Characterization

A differential steered, 13.6 kg robot was developed as an intelligent tire testing system and was used to investigate the potential of using piezoelectric film sensors in small tube-type pneumatic tires to characterize tire-ground interaction.<br />One focus of recent research in the tire indu...
