A dynamic model for wheeled planetary rovers based on the pseudo-coordinates approach is presented. The model allows any number of wheels and different types of suspensions to be considered and can used for rovers steered by steering wheels or by slip steering. As an example, the dynamics of a large 8-wheels pressurized rover for lunar exploration is studied.
