Today, only a few research projects are done on underground search robots used in disaster hit areas. Most disaster rescue robots help rescuers by searching for victims from above the ground. Yet, even these robots have difficulty in searching for persons buried under the ground or debris. In such circumstances, if robots could work from both above and under the ground, it would greatly help the rescue missions. In this research, I will present a design of a rescue robot that can tunnel through the ground to find victims when earthquakes hits. The research presents a new mechanism by simulating moles' movements.
