SMC rover: planetary rover with transformable wheels
Proceedings of the 41st SICE Annual Conference. SICE 2002., 2003We 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.

An Adaptive Suspension System for Planetary Rovers
IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2010Abstract 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 ...

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, 2002Several 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.

Dynamic modelling of wheeled planetary rovers
Proceedings of 2011 International Conference on Electronic & Mechanical Engineering and Information Technology, 2011A 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.

Enhanced locomotion control for a planetary rover
Proceedings 2003 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS 2003) (Cat. No.03CH37453), 2004This article presents an approach to improve and monitor the behavior of a skid-steering rover on rough terrains. An adaptive locomotion control generates speeds references to avoid slipping situations. An enhanced odometry provides a better estimation of the distance travelled.

Terrain Adaptive Navigation for planetary rovers
Journal of Field Robotics, 2009AbstractThis 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.

Spatial coverage planning for a planetary rover
2008 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2008We are developing onboard planning and execution technologies to support the exploration and characterization of geological features by autonomous rovers. In order to generate high quality mission plans, an autonomous rover must reason about the relative importance of the observations it can perform.

PRoViScout: a planetary scouting rover demonstrator
SPIE Proceedings, 2012Mobile systems exploring Planetary surfaces in future will require more autonomy than today. The EU FP7-SPACE Project ProViScout (2010-2012) establishes the building blocks of such autonomous exploration systems in terms of robotics vision by a decision-based combination of navigation and scientific target selection, and integrates them into a ...
