Drilling Mechanism of Autonomous Burrowing Robot for Lunar Subsurface Exploration
Lunar and planetary subsurface exploration is of considerable significance. The authors have studied the strategies for subsurface excavation and propulsion for the development of a lunar subsurface explorer. The authors have proposed an autonomous robotic explorer which can burrow into the soils. Based on the strategies the authors have already considered, this paper especially focuses on the ...
متن کاملA Mole-Type Drilling Robot for Lunar Subsurface Exploration
This paper proposes a new mole-like robot for the lunar subsurface exploration in the near future and the mechanism for forward movement. The mole robots have to carry the excavated regolith backward because of its high density. Therefore a new scheme is proposed, to move forward under the soil by making use of reactive force caused by pushing the discharged regolith. Simple experiments demonst...

متن کاملDrilling Automation for Subsurface Planetary Exploration
Future in-situ lunar/martian resource utilization and characterization, as well as the scientific search for life on Mars, will require access to the subsurface and hence drilling. Drilling on Earth is hard – an art form more than an engineering discipline. The limited mass, energy and manpower in planetary drilling situations makes application of terrestrial drilling techniques problematic. Th...
متن کاملMulti-objective exploration and search for autonomous rescue robots
“Exploration and search” is a typical task for autonomous robots performing in rescue missions, specifically addressing the problem of exploring the environment and at the same time searching for interesting features within the environment. In this paper, we model this problem as a multi-objective exploration and search problem and present a prototype system, featuring a strategic level, which ...
