Abstract
In future planetary exploration missions, rovers are required to traverse over very rough terrain. Regolith, the soil that covers the Moon´s surface, is easy to slide, causing rovers running on it get stuck. Some researchers have studied the mobility system for rovers. However the optimal and robust mobility systems have not been developed yet. For avoiding stuck-up, this paper proposes a new wheel system, considering the characteristics of the regolith
