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 rocker-bogie system is a suspension arrangement, in which there are some trailing arms fitted with some idler wheels. Due to articulation between the driving section and the followers, this suspension is very flexible. This kind of suspension is appropriate for extremely rough terrain. This kind of suspension was used in the Curiosity rover.
Each rover has six aluminium wheels mounted on a rocker-bogie suspension system, similar to that on Sojourner, [43] that ensures wheels remain on the ground while driving over rough terrain. The design reduces the range of motion of the rover body by half, and allows the rover to go over obstacles or through holes (depressions) that are more ...
The rover communicated with Earth through the Pathfinder base station, which had its last successful communication session with Earth at 3:23 a.m. PDT on September 27, 1997. [3] The last signal from the rover was received on the morning of October 7, 1997. [4] Sojourner traveled just over 100 meters (330 ft) by the time communication was lost. [5]
