Traction

Traction is a performance metric in mobile robot platform design that quantifies the effective adhesion and propulsion force between the robot's locomotion mechanism and the underlying surface, distinguishing it from related metrics by its focus on the efficiency and reliability of motion generation under varying terrains and load conditions.
