Independent experts from the USA have constructed a copy of the Perseveranc rover. The simulation procedure was filmed.

Using software, the scientists recreated the radio-controlled device in detail. The physical model received all the elements of movement - the body, wheels, auxiliary parts. The latter are used not only for Perseverance, but also Curiosity.

The simulation helped to clarify some facts about the device that were previously unknown. The rover body is attached to the pivot points on each side, the thrust is responsible for maneuverability.

The video shows the modeling and assembly procedure. Moving the rover using radio control.

The main reason for the desire to recreate the rover is to understand how the control process takes place and what elements the device consists of. The creation of a physical model and analysis of all controls through software helped to decompose the mechanics of the device on the shelves of interested researchers.

The modeling process began with a 3D visualization of the rover, which was available on the agency's website. It was loaded into the program, and then the details were completed for correct duplication.

The practice of reconstructing individual devices from existing models or circuits is not new to American scientists. But, as a rule, such ideas belong to startups. The latter, based on existing projects, come up with something of their own.

In the future, the group of scientists plans to develop, based on the analysis of the components of the rover, a 3D-printed manipulator and an automatic machine for bending pipes.

The knowledge you need for your projects can only be found in specialized publications. On the OXO article in the section Literature you can find more than 1000 books.
