Research and Development of Design Shape of a Mobile Robotic System For Geological Exploration on the Moon's Surface

Abstract

The object of research is a mobile robot system (MRTS) for geological exploration on the lunar surface. The aim of the project is to define a technical appearance and performance characteristics of MRTS, equipped with a drilling rig, and to study scenarios of application of MRTS in the course of geological exploration on the lunar surface. The findings could be useful for further development of MRTS for geological exploration on the Moon's surface as well as for works dedicated to other types of on-planet and robotic vehicles designed to run on the surface of the Moon and Mars.
