Design and Development of a Novel Multifunction Intelligent Rover for Mars
Deepayan Chakraborty, Elsiddig Elmukashfi · 2024
In this paper we will be attempting to design a Mars Rover that is able to avoid large obstacles by hovering over them. This paper will discuss the engineering process of the mechanical design of the rover, present the calculations of drag and lift force in order to optimise the dimensions of the rotor blades. It will also discuss the designs of all required systems of the rover. This paper will use Fusion 360 to 3D Model the rover, use static analysis and CFD analysis to analyse the models. The rover will have a rocker-bogie suspension system, a robotic arm, and a rotor flight system.
