The development of a tunneling robot for trenchless drilling has many different design aspects. Suitable hardware requires to be developed that can withstand the torques and forces that are generated by the drilling of the tunnel. A suitable route requires to be plotted that considers the maneuverability of the robot and avoids any obstacles or existing infrastructure. The control of such a system requires to be implemented in such a way that the system can follow the desired route while maintaining the required drill speed and avoid becoming stuck within the tunnel created.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
