For example, Iagnemma and Dubowsky verified through numerical analysis and tests that the rigidity-based conventional motion planning and control algorithm can cause severe slip and sinkage problems in WMRs [1]; they then modeled wheel-soil mechanics based on terramechanics [9] and also established the multiple-physical-based control mechanism for the navigation of WMRs on flat, loose terrain [9].
