  • Abstract
    The walking beam vehicle is one of several concepts being considered by NASA for an unmanned Mars rover vehicle. It is a simple walking machine with either eight or nine controlled degrees of freedom depending on the configuration used. Martin Marietta Corporation proposed the concept. This paper contains an analysis of the stability, and the available leg stroke on sloping terrain.<>
