In order to solve the shortage of laborers in the construction industry, it is expected to develop technologies that contribute to productivity improvement and emergency recovery systems that can cope with frequent natural disasters. With this background, the authors are participating in the Moonshot-type research and development program of the Cabinet Office, Japan, and have set the goals of emergency recovery from natural disasters and construction of lunar infrastructure using robotic technology, and are promoting research and development of robotic technology that can adapt to various environments and construct infrastructure. We believe that the key concept for such research is the "open design" of robots. In this paper, we introduce the outline of this project, and introduce the concept of "open design" and the research and development being conducted based on it.
