Simulation of Mutual Motion between Wheeled Mobile Robots and Terrains

This paper analyzes a kinematics model for a WMR(wheeled mobile robot) traversing a 3-D uneven terrain.A new kinematics model for WMR is deduced with velocity projection.Based on virtual reality,a virtual roving system for WMR is realized with VC++ OpenGL.With its strong interactive and real-time characteristics,the system provides the planetary exploration rovers with a verification platform for virtual navigation and teleoperation.
