  Thesis: Design Space Exploration of a martian rover chassis with multiobjective genetic optimizationThe thesis consists of the design of a prototype of the TO-RO 2019 space Rover chassis, carried out with a parametric method. In particular, I experimented with the application of this methodology that investigates the possibility of producing, through multi-objective genetic algorithms, families of solutions, among which it's possible to identify the solution that presents the combination of… Show more Thesis: Design Space Exploration of a martian rover chassis with multiobjective genetic optimizationThe thesis consists of the design of a prototype of the TO-RO 2019 space Rover chassis, carried out with a parametric method.
