RT Journal Article T1 Static Tip-Over Stability Analysis for a Robotic Vehicle With a Single-Axle Trailer on Slopes Based on Altered Supporting Polygons. A1 Morales-Rodríguez, Jesús A1 Martínez-Rodríguez, Jorge Luis A1 Mandow, Anthony A1 Serón-Barba, Javier A1 García-Cerezo, Alfonso José K1 Sistemas inteligentes de transporte AB This paper analyzes the effect of towing a single-axletrailer on static tip-over stability for field mobile robots on slopes.For this purpose, this study defines altered supporting polygons(ASP) for both tractor and trailer. TheseASPs are based on a force–torque static equilibrium analysis that reshapes the correspondingground contact supporting polygons. In this way, it is possible toestimate tip-over stability for each unit separately by projecting itscenter of gravity onto itsASP, even in the case that both bodies havedifferent inclinations.Online implementation issues and simulationresults are discussed. Moreover, a case study is presented for theAlacrane mobile manipulator, which carries a trailer for powergeneration.
