About us
The mission of the the International Society for Terrain-Vehicle Systems (ISTVS) is: - to advance the knowledge in terrain-vehicle systems for improvements in engineering practice and for innovation; - in the terrain-vehicle domain, to promote the transfer of advanced knowledge to the user for the benefit of society at large in environmental protection, energy conservation, and sustainable development. ISTVS was founded in 1962 at the request of the General Assembly of the First International Conference on the Mechanics of Soil-Vehicle Systems held in Turin, Italy. The founders were motivated to advance the knowledge of the mechanics of terrain-vehicle systems and machinery interacting with soils in all environments.

Professor Dan Negrut's talk today on lunar soil – rover wheel modeling using Project Chrono was very informative! Learn more about his insights on numerical modeling for generating "synthetic data" for the design of autonomy stacks on YouTube! https://lnkd.in/e6hp_Mg2 Thank you Professor Negrut for your talk and Professor Bohumir Jelinek for hosting this session!
Join us this Thursday for a dive into terramechanics models for lunar robotics applications with Dan Negrut, NVIDIA CUDA Fellow, Bernard A. and Frances M. Weideman Professor of Mechanical Engineering, of the UW-Madison Simulation Based Engineering Lab (SBEL) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. https://lnkd.in/eJyGkJd3 "Our lab has worked on several projects aimed at improving the mobility of autonomous rovers operating in lunar conditions. The design of such rovers increasingly relies on computer simulation. One of the more challenging tasks is producing terramechanics models that enable the simulator to accurately capture wheel slip and potential sinkage. Another challenge is sensing high slip and sinkage to adequately control the vehicle and maintain its ability to traverse the terrain. In this context, the talk will cover two main topics: it presents an overview of terramechanics models in robotics, and it briefly describes the sensing used in lunar mobility simulations. The latter aspect involves simulating camera operations on the Moon for the autonomy stack design. The quality of the camera's synthetic images is critical, as they inform the perception stage, which in turn, influences the planning and control stages of the autonomy stack."
