Abstract
This specification describes unmanned ground vehicle track systems. In some examples, an unmanned ground vehicle includes a frame having right and left sides and right and left track assemblies, each track assembly being coupled to a corresponding side of the frame in parallel with the other track assembly. Each track assembly includes a drive pulley coupled to the corresponding side of the frame and a track including a continuous flexible belt supported by the drive pulley. The track includes an interior surface engaged with the drive pulley and an exterior surface opposite the interior surface, and the exterior surface of the track includes a plurality of flexible bristles. The unmanned ground vehicle includes one or more drive motors configured to drive the drive pulleys of the right and left track assemblies.
