Abstract
As the Mars Exploration rovers have reaffirmed,
some of the most interesting sites for scientists to explore on planetary surfaces lie in terrains that are currently
inaccessible to state-of-the art rovers. We have been
developing the Axel rover as a robotic platform to access
steep and challenging terrain. We will summarize the recent
mechanical upgrades since we introduced the tethered Axel
concept last year
