System Design of Micro6 Rover for Longer Range Scientific Exploration
نویسندگان
چکیده
Micro6s are the sequel to the Micro5 series, newly projected rover prototypes. Micro6 is equipped with a suspension mechanism so called HEXUS, a six wheeled mobility system with actively controllable suspension. Thanks to the new link mechanism, HEXUS has not only good performance as well as PEGASUS, but also has great stability and fault tolerant feature. The paper describes the concept and system design of Micro6 rover with HEXUS suspension system.
