“…The rover/rover wheel navigation to various destinations safely and correctly while detecting and avoiding hazards are of primary concern to be considered while designing a planetary rover. Hence, mobility performance study on wheeled type robots is carried on basis of terramechanics and is necessary to avoid such problems [16]. The performance of planetary rover depends on three performance indices, namely; Trafficability -ability to travel on loose soils/rigid surface without traction-loss by rover/rover's wheel, Maneuverability -ability to navigate through the environment (moist, heavy wind and dust) that exist and Terrainabilityrover ability to negotiate terrain irregularities (slopes/obstacles) [1].…”
