We have been developing a lunar subsurface excavation robot using peristaltic crawling based on an earthworm's locomotion. In existing robots, the excavated soil must be manually removed by humans. To overcome this limitation, we have been developing a mechanism that automatically removes the excavated soil. This paper presents our new automatic soil-release mechanism and demonstrates the performance of the mechanism using a prototype.
