This paper concerns aspects of the conception, design, building and testing of the Adaptive Suspension Vehicle (ASV) for which Ken Waldron was a Principal Investigator. The ASV was a hexapod vehicle of 7500 lb gross weight that was completely self-contained in terms of motive power and motion control. I (the author) was involved in the project, in turns, as Ken’s graduate student, a university research associate, the chief mechanical engineer on the ASV, and an engineering contractor.
