A Steering Differential refers to a mechanism or system used in vehicles, particularly in robotics or certain types of vehicles like skid-steer or tracked vehicles, that allows for the control of turning by varying the speed of the wheels on either side of the vehicle.
Advantages of Steering Differential:
1. Improved Maneuverability: It enables precise control of turning, allowing sharper and more stable turns, especially in tight spaces.
2. Increased Stability: By controlling the speed and torque of each wheel independently, it helps maintain stability and balance while turning or navigating uneven terrain.
3. Reduced Tire Wear: Even distribution of power across wheels can prevent uneven tire wear that might occur in vehicles without a differential.
4. Enhanced Traction: It can distribute power more effectively to the wheels with better traction, improving overall grip and performance in challenging conditions.
5. Better Handling: It allows for smoother and more responsive handling, especially in vehicles with complex steering mechanisms.
