Small planetary rovers

IEEE International Workshop on Intelligent Robots and Systems, Towards a New Frontier of Applications, 2002
The authors argue that small rovers on the order of 1 to 2 kg are suitable for planetary exploration. Not only are they extremely cost effective but they also enable a number of new possibilities for scientific objectives. The authors describe their Attila robots which are prototypes for planetary rovers at the larger end of the scale (1.6 kg).

SMC rover: planetary rover with transformable wheels

Proceedings of the 41st SICE Annual Conference. SICE 2002., 2003
We propose a new planetary rover system called "SMC rover". This system consists of one main body and some wheel units, which are detachable and able to work as child rovers, called "Uni-Rover". Trial models of "Uni-Rover" and "SMC rover" have been designed.

Control and operation of a planetary rover

Proceedings of the 1997 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robot and Systems. Innovative Robotics for Real-World Applications. IROS '97, 2002
Several experiments are being conducted to establish the feasibility of exploring the Moon and Mars using spatially mobile robots. These explorations are made possible with EVE (an experimental exploration vehicle) which allows one to validate two modes of adaptive control, one for a lunar mission, the other for the severe conditions of Mars.

Terrain Adaptive Navigation for planetary rovers

Journal of Field Robotics, 2009
AbstractThis paper describes the design, implementation, and experimental results of a navigation system for planetary rovers called Terrain Adaptive Navigation (TANav). This system was designed to enable greater access to and more robust operations within terrains of widely varying slippage.

An Adaptive Suspension System for Planetary Rovers

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2010
Abstract This paper presents an innovative suspension system with variable wheel camber to improve mobility of robots on rough-terrain. The system is optimized for planetary rovers that employ conventional rocker-type suspensions. The main advantage of the proposed system is that each wheel keeps an upright posture as the suspension system adapts to ...

Dynamic modelling of wheeled planetary rovers

Proceedings of 2011 International Conference on Electronic & Mechanical Engineering and Information Technology, 2011
A dynamic model for wheeled planetary rovers based on the pseudo-coordinates approach is presented. The model allows any number of wheels and different types of suspensions to be considered and can used for rovers steered by steering wheels or by slip steering.
