Outline

The purpose of this trials was to integrate into the rover the new traction control system and to test it. MPC555 boards have been installed inside the robot for the low level control of the speed of the robot, thus allowing individual control of the speed of each wheel.

The system has been tested in the INGV laboratory of Nicolosi and has shown considerable improvement.
