Abstract
The manned lunar mission will be assisted by a semi-autonomous rover. The rover employs a limited authority AI and a fully functional redundant tele-operational system. This hybrid system enables the rover to take operational and survival decisions on its own without waiting for human intervention, while the TOS will ensure the proper utilization of human intelligence.
The rover is of the outside dimensions 90cm X 60cm X 30cm. The rover uses a hybrid suspension system consisting of 4 adjustable drive trains employing 3 rollers each. The suspension system gives the rover the advantages of both the actively articulated suspension system and tracked suspension system. The centre of mass of the rover is altered by altering the angle between the rollers of the drive train. The track displacement is adjusted by varying the angle between the shafts. The casing of the rover employs two interlocking segments, allowing 15° of movement in the vertical plane. The rover hosts a number of sensors and redundant communication channels.
