Abstract

In recent years, the exploration for other planets are really popular among many researchers[1][2]. It seems that Rover is the one of the best application to know the details of the surface of the planets. For example, Spirits and Opportunity; the rovers of NASA[3], still keep exploring on mars, and we can get a great number of information of Mars from those rovers. Therefore, such a kind of rover is very important and effective for planetary exploration. This paper proposes the concept of the horizontal polyarticular expandable 3-wheeled planetary rover, "Tri-StarIII" which based on the expandable rover. The development of the arm, wheel configuration are presented in detail.
