Abstract:

Intelligent robot technology has great potential for application in polar scientific expedition. During the 24th Chinese Antarctic Expedition in the summer of 2007/08, our ice-snow surface mobile and low-flying robots were success fully employed for the first time in the Antarctic. This paper firstly gives a brief  introduction to the intelligent robot technology developed a broad and used in the Antarctic, then focuses on the ice-snow surface mobile and low-flying robots developed by China as well as their field trials in the Antarctic. Moreover, the authors have considered the potential demand for the intelligent robot technology in China's Antarctic scientific expedition, in the hope of providing some reference for the future development of robot technologies.

Key words: Antarctic scientific expedition, ice-snow surface mobile robot, low-flying robot, scientific load
