Kinematic analysis of HIT-1 lunar rover

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

In order to solve the kinematic problem of lunar rover over traverse rough terrain, a kinematic analysis of rocker-bogie was introduced for lunar rover with springs and dumpers. The full 3-D mechanics of HIT-1 lunar rover was studied, and the solution of forward and inverse kinematic equation of lunar rover was derived. An analytical method was proposed to improve rough-terrain mobility and increase traction by flexible controlling the springs and dumpers and thus repositioning the center of mass, then the actions of lunar rover can be planned and controlled.
