Lunar or planetary exploration missions including landers and rovers have been earnestly under study in Japan. One of the main missions for lunar robotics exploration is to demonstrate the technologies for lunar or planetary surface exploration, which will cover landing technology and surface exploration rover technology. Lunar geologic survey will be also performed for utilization and scientific...
This paper presents a mobile robotic system designed to perform deep soil sampling for lunar or planetary subsurface exploration in the near future. Drilling robots have to carry the excavated fine sand, regolith backward because of the 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. The first...
