Yes, gravity does act on the Mars Rovers. On Mars, the gravity on the surface is 39% as strong as it is on Earth. This is also about the same amount on Mercury. A man weighing 200 pounds on Earth (or 440 kg) would weigh 78 pounds on Mars (171.6 kg). The six wheels the rovers have push the rovers around, they just don't have to work as hard to overcome the weak Martian gravity.
