    The surface of Mars is a complex terrain covered with soft soil, which poses significant risks of subsidence, high slip, or even collapse for rovers exploring the planet. A thorough analysis of rover trafficability and effective path planning are crucial in mitigating these risks. This paper discusses a comprehensive review of the strategies and methods employed by the Sojourner, Spirit, Opportunity, Curiosity, Perseverance, and Zhurong rovers and the latest advances in trafficability assessment based on multi-information fusion, deep learning, and data-driven techniques. Finally, this paper outlines the prospects for advancing the field of rover trafficability assessment.
