چکیده
It is the mission of this design team to design a viable Mars explorer with biomimetic inspiration, with specific regard to the locomotion system. The vehicle must have the capability to transport a payload that can aid in the search for life on Mars, as well as provide proof of biomimetic methods in physical and control system design.

Bioinspired Drill for Planetary Sampling: Literature Survey, Conceptual Design, and Feasibility Study
Growing interest in planetary subsurface exploration has prompted an examination of advanced drilling technologies. One of the major limitations of sampling in low gravity environments (such as Mars, asteroids, etc.) using conventional rotary drills is the need for high axial force, which suffers from big overhead mass, buckling problems, and power hungriness. Though drills using percussive mot...
متن کاملRover Chassis Evaluation and Design Optimisation Using the Rcet
A set of tools was developed in the frame of ESA activity [18191/04/NL] labelled RCET (Mars Rover Chassis Evaluation Tools) to support design, selection and optimisation of space exploration rovers. This activity was carried out jointly by Contraves Space as prime contractor, ETHZ, DLR, SSC and EADS Space Transportation. This paper describes the utilisation of the RCET in the context of a rover...
متن کاملThe Scanning Mechanism for Rosetta / Midas from an Engineering Model to the Flight Model
The MIDAS (Micro Imaging Dust Analysis System) [1] instrument jointly developed by IWF Graz (AT) and the Solar Space Division of ESA/ESTEC (NL) will flow on ROSETTA and will analyse the dust of the 46P/Wirtanen cometa using an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM). A piezoelectric XYZ stage, used to scan the sample in 3 axis, is part of the instrument and has been fully designed and qualified under the...
متن کاملNonlinear H Control for Uncertain Flexible Joint Robots with Unscented Kalman Filter
Todays, use of combination of two or more methods was considered to control of systems. In this paper ispresented how to design of a nonlinear H∞ (NL-H∞) controller for flexible joint robot (FJR) based on boundedUKF state estimator. The UKF has more advantages to standard EKF such as low bios and no need toderivations. In this research, based on spong primary model for FJRs, same as rigid robot...
