Recently, the School of Information Engineering of China University of Metrology planet rover navigation research team developed the first open planet rover patrol and detection virtual simulation system in China, and opened access to the public.
This system uses virtual reality technology to simulate the planet rover driving in Mars , the moon and other environments, providing users with an immersive interactive experience in planet exploration. The public can access it through the website http://www.roversim.space.
Since successfully landing in Mars in May 2021, the "Zhurong" Mars rover has traveled nearly 2,000 meters in total, and has obtained about 1,480GB of original scientific exploration data, successfully completing the established scientific exploration mission.
"Zhurong" Mars rover is equipped with a variety of scientific load equipment such as navigation terrain cameras, obstacle avoidance cameras, surface component detectors, subsurface detection radars, and mobile mechanical devices that can adapt to harsh environments.
How to simulate the principle of Mars patrol exploration with immersive virtual interaction is an important topic.
Planet rover inspection and detection simulation system
In order to actively respond to the country's 2022 " Opinions on Further Strengthening the Popularization of Science and Technology in the New Era ", strengthen the school's sense of responsibility for popular science work, strengthen the creation of popular science works, and make planet exploration technology closer to the public, the Planet rover navigation research team of the School of Information Engineering of China University of Metrics proposed the idea of developing a planet rover inspection and detection simulation system in a pure virtual world.
This system includes main modules such as planet environment settings, planet exploration, and planet rover introduction: the planet environment settings module can set the surface roughness, degree of fluctuation, number of various craters, number of stones, etc. according to personal needs; the planet detection module completes the planet rover driving mission planning in the virtual world, and can display the results of the planet rover automatic roaming in real time, including the mileage, speed, time and other information of the planet rover driving; the planet rover introduction module introduces the composition and functions of the various components of the planet rover from a comprehensive perspective.
This system can not only support different virtual terrain and environments such as Mars and the moon, but also support different types of detection rovers such as Mars rover and lunar rover and . Its professional version can also help scientific researchers conduct planetary rover experiments more intuitively in the virtual world, improve the speed and accuracy of scientific computing verification, simulate and predict special situations of planet exploration, and provide decision-making support for Mars exploration missions.
