This research project aims to realize a robotic system that can adapt to unrestricted challenging environments and conduct construction of lunar bases or carry out emergency response at disaster sites. To achieve the goal, a prototype of the robotic system will be constructed after which the system's usefulness will be confirmed by field tests in simulated lunar fields and field simulations of river blockages due to landslides by 2025.
