The field of robotics has long been inspired by notable adaptations and functionalities found in nature, leading to the development of biomimetic designs that mimic the abilities of living organisms.The design of underground excavation robots and various applications has been approached with a biomimetic perspective, offering numerous alternatives for innovation and new product development.These robots draw inspiration from a wide range of animals, including mammals, insects, and crustaceans, to develop effective excavation techniques and adaptability to complex underground environments.In this study, solutions for excavation tasks are presented, drawing inspiration from the armadillo.The robot mimics the unique anatomical structure of the armadillo and its digging function to perform effective and efficient excavation.The armadillo's ability to move rapidly and effectively underground serves as a primary inspiration for the robot's design.This study provides a detailed look into the design principles and methodologies used in the development of biomimetic underground excavation robots, demonstrating their potential utility in underground exploration, mining, and various other subterranean activities.
