چکیده
The paper researched and presented a virtual simulation system based on a full-digital lunar terrain, integrated with kinematics and dynamics module as well as autonomous navigation simulation module. The system simulation models are established. Enabling technologies such as digital lunar surface module, kinematics and dynamics simulation, Autonomous navigation are investigated. A prototype system for lunar rover locomotion simulation is developed based on these technologies. Autonomous navigation is a key technology in lunar rover system, but rarely involved in virtual simulation system. An autonomous navigation simulation module have been integrated in this prototype system, which was proved by the simulation results that the synthetic simulation and visualizing analysis system are established in the system, and the system can provide efficient support for research on the autonomous navigation of lunar rover. Keywords—Lunar rover, virtual simulation, autonomous navigation, full-digital lunar terrain.

An Approach To Navigation For Lunar Rover Based On Virtual Reality Technology
This paper presented a method for navigation of lunar rover. This method used the real lunar data to model the virtual terrain. In addition, its path is planned using a knowledge based genetic algorithm accounting for uncertainty of modeling and sensor data. This method overcomes the invalid problem of past methods in complicated rough terrain to plan path. Simulation results show the feasibili...
متن کاملHigh Speed Lunar Navigation for Crewed and Remotely Piloted Vehicles
Increased navigation speed is desirable for lunar rovers, whether autonomous, crewed or remotely operated, but is hampered by the low gravity, high contrast lighting and rough terrain. We describe lidar based navigation system deployed on NASA’s K10 autonomous rover and to increase the terrain hazard situational awareness of the Lunar Electric Rover crew.

Virtual Reality Simulation plays important role in teleoperation of lunar rovers during exploration phase as well as in the design of rover and its systems, performance evaluation during R&D phase. Present simulation methods for lunar rovers have several drawbacks in terms of difficulty in simulating terrains, rover terrain interfaces, simulating dynamics of slip and slide to realize smooth mob...
متن کاملField Experiments in Mobility and Navigation with a Lunar Rover Prototype
Scarab is a prototype rover for lunar missions to survey resources, particularly water ice, in polar craters. It is designed as a prospector that would use a deep coring drill and apply soil analysis instruments. Its chassis can transform to stabilize its drill in contact with the ground and can also adjust posture to ascend and descent steep slopes. Scarab has undergone field testing at lunar ...
