Dynamic modeling and sliding mode driving control for lunar rover slip

, 2007
Slip ratio is the crucial variable of the interaction between wheels and soft road. Based on the definition of the slip ratio of wheels, dynamical model of the lunar rover is established in this paper, which incorporated the terramechanics theory.
