This paper provides a comprehensive review of the published literature on screw propulsion
for off-road vehicles and amphibious transportation, from its origins in the 18th century to the …

Abstract Purpose of Review With the continued interest in scientific space exploration and
rapid development of the commercialized space sector, there have been a wide array of …

The most widely used rigid threshing component (RTC) currently has a constant problem
with high kernel damage rates. Inspired by the seldom occurrence of kernel damage in …

Autonomous subsurface applications (eg, construction, exploration, and environmental
monitoring) have created a need for burrowing mechanisms and robots. This study presents …

In this study, we propose a novel movement mechanism for a mobile robot that combines
screw-based and general wheel-based mechanisms via switching. As mobile robots …

Screw propulsion mechanism is a kind of special walking mechanism suitable for traveling
on the loose terrain, with the characteristics of small grounding specific pressure, strong …

This paper reports on an experimental study to quantify the influence of the different
adaptation capabilities that can be leveraged to improve the performance of low-cost four …

Excavation of regolith is the enabling process for many of the in situ resource utilization
(ISRU) efforts that are being considered to aid in the human exploration of the moon and …

In order to realize the real-time monitoring of the grain condition, grain condition information
should be collected during storage operations. A drill-in granary grain condition detector …

In this paper, a robust design of a screw wheel is presented, based on the Taguchi method
to accelerate a screw-based crawling robot. Screw-based crawling robots have been …
