Lunar rover is a special kind of wheeled mobile robot for deep space exploration mission. On the moon, the soft weathered layers, as well as different sizes of rocks and craters, are distributed disorderly and unsystematically. Facing such kinds of complex environments and terrains, the mobility and terrain trafficability performance of the lunar rover will be threatened to a certain extent. The SpaceDyn toolbox is adopted to build the six-wheeled lunar rover kinematics relation and to calculate the kinetic parameters. Then the lunar rover dynamics model can be achieved. The wheel-soil interaction model on soft terrain is established based on terramechanics theory. Finally, the coordinated driving controller for the six-wheeled lunar rover on complex soft terrain is designed according to the above model. Numerical calculation and computer simulations are performed to verify the performance of the designed controller on soft terrain. Results indicate that the lunar rover has a better coordination driving control ability when using the designed controller, which may provide a reference for motion control of other kinds of wheeled mobile robot.

We analyze the mechanism of the topochemically controlled difunctionalization of C60 and anthracene, where an anthracene molecule is transferred from one C60 monoadduct to another one under exclusive formation of equal amounts of C60 and the difficult to make antipodal C60 bisadduct. Our herein disclosed dispersion corrected DFT studies show the anthracene transfer to take place in a synchronous retro Diels-Alder/Diels-Alder reaction: an anthracene molecule dissociates from one fullerene under formation of an intermediate, while already undergoing stabilizing interactions with both neighboring fullerenes, facilitating the reaction kinetically. In the intermediate, a planar anthracene molecule is sandwiched between two neighboring fullerenes and forms equally strong "double-decker" type pi-pi stacking interactions with both of these fullerenes. Analysis with the distorsion interaction model shows that the anthracene unit of the intermediate is almost planar with minimal distorsions. This analysis sheds light on the existence of noncovalent interactions engaging both faces of a planar polyunsaturated ring and two convex fullerene surfaces in an unprecedented 'inverted sandwich' structure. Hence, it sheds light on new strategies to design functional fullerene based materials.<br>

<p>The interatomic Chebyshev Interaction Model for Efficient Simulation (ChIMES) is based on linear combinations of Chebyshev polynomials describing explicit two- and three-body interactions. Recently, the ChIMES model has been developed and applied to a molten metallic system of a single atom type (carbon), as well as a non-reactive molecular system of two atom types at ambient conditions (water). Here, we continue application of ChIMES to increasingly complex problems through extension to a reactive system. Specifically, we develop a ChIMES model for carbon monoxide under extreme conditions, with built-in transferability to nearby state points. We demonstrate that the resulting model recovers much of the accuracy of DFT while exhibiting a 10<sup>4</sup>increase in efficiency, linear system size scalability and the ability to overcome the significant system size effects exhibited by DFT.</p>
