A rocker bogie In motion - incorrectly shows chassis staying level; the chassis actually maintains the average of the two rockers Rocker bogie on Curiosity. The rocker-bogie system is the suspension arrangement developed in 1988 for use in NASA's Mars rover Sojourner, [1] [2] [3] and which has since become NASA's favored design for rovers. [4]
IIT Kanpur contributed to the development of the subsystems for light-based map generation and motion planning for the rover. [19] Control and motor dynamics: the rover design has a rocker-bogie suspension system and six wheels, each driven by independent brushless DC electric motors. Steering is accomplished by differential speed of the wheels ...

The Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity (both launched in 2004) used differential gears in their rocker-bogie suspensions to keep the rover body balanced as the wheels on the left and right move up and down over uneven terrain. [13] The Curiosity and Perseverance rovers used a differential bar instead of gears to perform the same function. [14]

This was the largest rover NASA has put on Mars, being twice as long and five times as heavy as its processors. Despite the extra size the Curiosity took many design elements from the previous generation of Mars rovers such as six wheel drive, rocker-bogie suspension, and cameras mounted to the mast of the rover to help the mission's team ...
Direct teleoperation of a Mars rover is impractical, as the round trip communication time between Earth and Mars ranges from 8 to 42 minutes and the Deep Space Network system is only available a few times during each Martian day . [1] Therefore, a rover command team plans, then sends, a sol of operational commands to the rover at one time. [1]
