This paper proposes a bulldozing procedure using lightweight small robotic vehicles on lunar surface. The procedure mainly addresses a bulldozing task to fill and level ditches (i.e., craters) with considering earth-working characteristics. The characteristics, such as bulldozing efficiency, working efficiency, and energy margin, are evaluated by dynamic simulation of the robot with varying bulldozing length and depth. The simulation result quantitatively provides an efficient bulldozing scheme for filling a rectangular ditch.
