Slip Estimation Using Variation Data of Strain of the Chassis of Lunar Rovers Traveling on Loose Soil by Kojiro Iizuka, Kohei Inaba

“…There are several methods for recognizing the traveling state such as a system using cameras and Lidar, and they are used in real exploration missions like Mars Exploration Rovers of NASA/JPL. When a rover travels and travels across loose soil with steep slopes like a side wall of a crater on the lunar surface, the rover has side slipping. …”
