Mars Rover Model in Simscape

Six-wheeled electrically-driven rover that navigates uneven terrain to retrieve a sample.

This example models a mars rover that navigates a path on uneven terrain to retrieve a sample.

• Contact forces are modeled between the six driven wheels and the terrain.
• Path following and speed control algorithms adjust the wheel steer angles and speeds to guide the rover to the sample.
• Inverse kinematic analysis is used to plan the rover arm joint angle trajectories that will enable the arm to acquire and store the sample.
• Electric motors can be used to estimate rover power consumption.
