With the advances of China's space exploration,the research of related technologies including mobile manned lunar rover has been an important task for China's future manned lunar landing and exploration.This paper presents the design of a control system based on a force feedback handle for the driving of the mobile manned lunar rover according to the comfort and working space of the astronauts.Mainly composed of a 2-DOF rotating structure,a hand lever and a DC motor with optical encoder,the force feedback handle can give force and touch sensing to astronauts under the specifically designed environment,and assist astronauts to drive the rover safely and effectively.The hardware of the control system receives the command signal and force feedback information from the upper computer,then feeds back the position data of the handle to the upper computer.The software system builds the lunar rover driving scene based on unity3D,in which virtual sensors are used to make driving decisions and calculate the corresponding force feedback information.The simulation test results show that the force feedback handle can well assist astronauts to drive the mobile manned lunar rover,and effectively improve the driving efficiency and security of the mobile manned lunar rover.
