Wei Wang · Ha'erbin gongye daxue xuebao · 2001
Discussess the critical technology for a lunar roving robot on the background of both domestic foreign research status quo, suggests a realization project for developing a lunar roving robot system in the light of the situation in China, by which, a 'virtual prototyping' technique to develop a virtual computer based simulating environment is introduced to integrate 3d design, dynamics modeling, control and visual simulation to simulate the lunar surface situation and runs further study on the statics, kinematics and dynamics of the lunar roving robot by taking full advantages of this integrated environment, so that the optimization of the structure parameters, dynamic parameter and control algorithm can be conveniently made available and introduces. An intelligent sensing system is introduced to achieve the autonomous navigation and control of the lunar roving robot under the complicated, atrocious, unknown environment on the moon.
