Burrowing and unburrowing in submerged granular media through fluidization and shape-change

Subterranean exploration in submerged granular media (GM) presents significant challenges for robotic systems due to high drag forces and the complex physics of GM. This paper introduces a robotic system that combines water-jet-based fluidization for self-burrowing in submerged environments and an u...
