Methods that take account of the properties of the propulsion system and the terrain (along with their interactions) are outlined, for use in quality assessment of the locomotion system in planetary rovers in which wheels with individual electromechanical drives are mounted on a self-propelled chassis. Criteria for optimization of rigid metal wheels are determined, and selection criteria for balanced suspension systems are established.
