Mole-bot: Development of bio-inspired embedded directional drilling robot

A research team led by Prof. Hyun Myung developed a bio-inspired digging robot called Mole-bot that simulates the mole's biological structure and behavior for resource exploration on Earth and other planets. In addition, a localization algorithm that can estimate the robot position and orientation in the underground environment was developed. The developed platform was verified through experiments on a testbed filled with soil....read more
