Abstract
Lunar rover development involves a large amount of validation works in realistic operational conditions, including its mechanical subsystem and on-board software. The traditional simulation step is to construct model, input parameters, execute a simulation, and visualize the results. However, a more insight and higher productivity can be achieved if these activities are guided by human simultaneously. In this paper, a human-guided simulation method for China lunar rover simulation environment (CLRSE) that affords real time capabilities with high fidelity has been presented. It studied the input of kinematics simulation, analyzed a quick steering method of complex dynamic interactions between wheel and soft moon ground, and presented a way of path choosing by human guided. And the application which runs on PC Cluster and Silicon Graphics is also developed in this environment.
Highlights
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in exploration of the moon among the nations
A lunar rover is a kind of detector that loaded with scientific detection instruments and transmits the final probe data back to the earth
Compared with the real ground simulation test, to a large extent, computer simulations with the application of virtual reality technology is a high-efficiency, low-cost way that provides a good means of verification for the design and control algorithm optimization
Summary
There has been a growing interest in exploration of the moon among the nations. NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) researched in different types of lunar rover navigation systems [1, 2], and developed a simulation system called ROAMS [3]. Autonomous navigation is a key technology in lunar rover system, many scholars [5,6,7] presented lots of papers. Today tele-operated robot systems are becoming more and more significant in various aspects of controlling lunar rover. It is often required one human-operator to control several properties of a rover. Few people studied how they effect on robots or rovers when the objects were tele-operated and what parametric should be input.
