註釋The performance cost of converting an existing machine into an autonomous machine is then measured by its mobility degredation [sic]. This paper develops a methodology that helps the design engineer to reduce one mobility performance cost, and illustrates this method with its application to the NavLab II mobile robot. The conclusion of this work is that the state of the art in mobile robotics is not accurately reflected in the performance capabilities of mobile robots developed primarily to support software research programs. Even a rudimentary first cut at the systematic engineering of performance has yielded a power to weight ratio change on the order of 10%. This study predicts changes on the order of 20% through the implementation of robust low-technology solutions.
