One critical area of concern with regard to the technologies required for the adequate function of a Mars robotic rover is the issue of mobility and suspension. It is generally acknowledged that for the autonomous functioning of a rover, intelligent control is required. However, it is clear that adequate mobility is essential in supplying the actuator component of such a control system. The US are committed to the springless "rocker-bogie" design which was adopted and demonstrated on the 1997 Mars Pathfinder Sojournor rover. It thus has the advantage of being flight-proven, but there are limitations to its capabilities. The rocker-bogie approach is one of many approaches which are explored here. We present a number of mobility concepts together with a preliminary analysis for comparison.
