![]() Title:Design of Control and Power Systems for an Autonomous Lunar Vehicle for Habitat Generation on the Lunar Surface Conference:CEC 2024 Tags:Potencia, Sensores, Sistemas de control and vehiculos Abstract: Lunar exploration faces the critical challenge of establishing sustainable habitats to support future manned missions. To address this need, an autonomous lunar vehicle is being developed with the capability to collect and transform lunar regolith into construction materials. This vehicle utilizes a mobility system composed of six wheels, each individually controlled by a Model Predictive Control (MPC) system, chosen for its extensive application in autonomous vehicles, ensuring precise and stable behavior on uneven terrain. The implementation of this control system is essential for the vehicle's autonomous operations on the lunar surface, ensuring its maneuverability and adaptability. The electronic design of the vehicle primarily aims to generate systems for vehicle autonomy and power generation for a prolonged mission. The vehicle's design also includes the implementation and integration of sensors, navigation algorithms, and decision-making systems to ensure safe and efficient movement. Initial training will also be conducted on a system that allows for the individual control of six motors, one for each wheel of the vehicle, to analyze the energy consumption of each motor individually. The effective development of these systems facilitates the generation of sustainable habitats on the lunar surface, which is crucial for long-term exploration and colonization of the Moon. This project aligns with the goals of sustainable space exploration and expanding human presence beyond Earth. Efforts will be made to optimize the vehicle's power consumption to ensure its sustainability in prolonged lunar missions, as well as to implement a telemetry system that allows for long-range control and the collection of information for the proper maintenance and management of the proposed mission.
