Abstract : This paper relates to a mechanism that involves enabling the arms of a rover to traverse up steps / rocksand still be able to take the shocks of uneven or rough terrain. The primary use of the mechanism discussed in thispaper is to allow extraterrestrial rovers to climb high stepped terrain and have a suspension system in place to providerestoring force for the arms to come down and provide traction for the wheels over the ground. Such a mechanismallows the rover to travel uncharted and unexplored terrain.
