Typical subsurface investigation tools used on Earth are not applicable for In-Situ Resource Utilization and space mining applications on the Moon and other extraterrestrial bodies due to payload limitations in space missions. Similarly, heavy tools cannot be used at critical sites such as under a dam, power plant or pipelines, dense forests, or sites susceptible to liquefaction. The purpose of this project is to design a new compact portable Bio-Inspired Vibro-Based probe that meets the requirements for exploration in extreme environments such as extraterrestrial bodies, remote areas, or critical sites on Earth.

由于空间飞行任务的有效载荷限制，地球上使用的典型地下调查工具不适用于月球和其他地外天体的就地资源利用和空间采矿应用。同样，重型工具不能用于大坝、发电厂或管道、茂密森林或易液化地点等关键地点。该项目的目的是设计一种新型的紧凑便携的基于生物灵感的可控震源探测器，满足在极端环境中进行探测的要求，如地外天体、偏远地区或地球上的关键地点。
