A new type design of lunar rover suspension structure and its neural network control system

Suspension design is one of the important parts in the research field on lunar rover mobile system. To conduct detailed dynamic analysis on the new type of suspension, this paper presents a new type of six link double ring lunar rover suspension model based on ADAMS virtual simulation software. And, this paper designs the lunar rover path tracking neural network controller. Simulation and test results show that the new lunar rover suspension has strong ground adaptability, obstacle surmounting capability and anti-overturning ability compared to classic suspension, and the neural network controller based on the new suspension has good tracking ability. The research results provide a reference for autonomous navigation control on lunar rover.
