[School of Engineering PhD Scholarships] Bio-Inspired Robotic Burrowing: Penetration and Anchorage in Real Soil

Can a robot weaken the soil in front of it without losing the grip that drives it forward? Bio-inspired burrowing systems could enable mobile, low-disturbance investigation of the shallow subsurface, reaching locations that are difficult to access using drilling, trenching or conventional vertical probes.
