A major challenge in planetary exploration robotics is to provide increased rover mobility, which is necessary to access to a wider range of scientific sites. The design of a locomotion subsystem depends on multiple constraints and in particular the mission profile and its interaction with the planetary surface. The aim of this chapter is to introduce the principle for designing adequate locomotion subsystems in particular for Moon and Mars missions with a main focus on motion performance.
