Keeping Mars Rovers From Getting Stuck | MIT JPL Space Science Full HD Video

Visit my website at - a team from MIT's Robotic Mobility Group, Washington University in St. Louis and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., have created a software system called Artemis that accurately simulates rover mobility over various types of soil and terrain. The ability to travel over rough terrain without becoming stuck has always been one of the biggest challenges engineers face when designing rovers.

Keeping Mars rovers rolling

Mobility is a vital part of a rover's mission on the surface of Mars. The ability to travel across the terrain without becoming stuck is a problem researchers have been trying to solve for some time. Now, a team from MIT's Robotic Mobility Group, Washington University in St. Louis and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., has developed a model called Artemis that accurately simulates rover mobility over various types of soil and terrain.
