Wheeled Mobile Robots on Rough Terrains as Stochastic Nonholonomic Systems
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the motion of wheeled mobile robots on rough terrains modeled as noisy nonholonomic constraints. Such constraints are the natural extension of ideal nonholonomic constraints when the Stratonovich process is directly introduced in the constraint equations. The resulting stochastic model can capture motion on rough surfaces, random deformation in the wheel-ground contact, or stochastic loss/gain of traction. We study a differential robot with ideal noisy and affine noisy constraints, where each case models a certain aspect of motion on rough terrains. We then investigate their corresponding stochastic dynamics and the propagation of mean and covariance through Monte-Carlo simulations. The proposed model for roving rough terrains has the potential to serve as the stochastic model employed in model-based motion planning, pose estimation, and control of rover systems. The main challenge will be dealing with the nonlinear appearance of the noise and its feedback in the equations of motion.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
