slope_slip_curve — DRIVE roverslip op

• Data kinds: signal × table × any × scalar → table

• Call: import fullseye as fs; fs.ledger.slope_slip_curve(slopes_deg, wheel, soil, mass: 'float', n_wheels: 'int' = 6, gravity: 'float' = 3.72, s_min: 'float' = -0.9, s_max: 'float' = 0.99) -> 'dict' (to call the implementation directly, import roverslip; roverslip.slope_slip_curve(slopes_deg, wheel, soil, mass: 'float', n_wheels: 'int' = 6, gravity: 'float' = 3.72, s_min: 'float' = -0.9, s_max: 'float' = 0.99) -> 'dict'; from the registry, opsdrive.get("slope_slip_curve"))

Usage

For each slope angle (degrees, uphill positive), the steady slip ratio at which the drawbar pull balances the gravity component along the slope while supporting the vehicle's weight.

Per wheel F_z = m g cos β / N, required traction m g sin β / N. The slip ratio is found by bisection on [s_min, s_max] (with sinkage also found by bisection inside). Angles where traction is insufficient even at s_max get feasible = False and slip = nan (stuck), and likewise angles on a downhill where it cannot stop even at s_min. The default gravity is Mars, 3.72 m/s². Returns {"slope", "slip", "sinkage", "feasible", "max_slope"} (max_slope is the interpolated maximum climbable angle [deg], nan if there is no limit within the range).
