  • Abstract
    Surveys past and current designs of surface mobility systems for planetary exploration robots developed at JPL/Caltech. Wheeled rovers are discussed in some detail and compared to new designs, such as legged and hopping robots, which are emerging as viable alternatives to wheeled mobility for specific applications. The paper discusses the main features of mobility designs and summarizes some of the experimental results
