Abstract

The Rocker-Bogie system was designed forslow speeds. It is capable of overcoming obstacles that are of double the sizeof a wheel. The primary mechanical feature of the rocker bogie designis its drive train simplicity, which is accomplished by using six motors for mobility. All motors are locatedat each wheelwhere thermal variation is kept to a minimum, increasing reliability and efficiency. Sixwheels areused because there are many obstacles on natural terrain that require both front wheels of the rover to climbsimultaneously. A series of mobility experiments in the agriculture land, rough roads, inclined, stairs and obstacles surfacesconcluded that rocker bogie can achieve some distance traverses on field.
