Abstract: This paper develops a 3-D visualization simulation tool for lunar rover’s locomotion and control that incorporates rigid multi-body dynamics and tyre-soil interactions, allows us to study key test cases such as slope climbing in soft soil, and gives an example of application of the lunar rover’s motion control in the simulation tool.

Key words: lunar rover, dynamics and control, tyre-soil interactions, simulation tool
