Abstract—Optimal force distribution analysis is an integral part of research field of autonomous vehicle research in rough terrain. A set of quasi-static force analysis method of force distribution is proposed based on three-dimensional force of the vehicle on the rough ground surface. The algorithm tries to avoid excessive slip. A simulation study in MATLAB software is carried out in a typical three-dimensional terrain environment with regard to the power consumption of motors and forces of robot with related constraints. Simulation is employed on the typical three-dimensional terrain model. Pareto optimal solution sets was analyzed as a major concern. Furthermore, different Pareto fronts were obtained with different percentage of noise induced into the terrain with typical characteristics.
