摘　　要：The harsh and remote environments of polar regions,such as the Arctic and Antarctica,pose significant challenges for scientific exploration,particularly in ice sampling.Extreme conditions,including low temperatures,ice,snow,and natural obstacles,make access to these areas difficult.However,ice sampling from glaciers,ice sheets,and icebergs is critical for scientific research,necessitating the development of specialized equipment.Unmanned ice-drilling systems offer a promising solution by enabling safe and efficient ice core sample collection in remote locations.Advances in extraterrestrial ice-drilling technology have inspired the development of automated drilling systems for Earth’s polar regions,with recent efforts focusing on lightweight,electric or solar-powered rovers which can tow or mount drilling systems.This paper introduces the concept of a robotic drilling system designed at Jilin University,China,for shallow drilling operations from an unmanned polar rover,highlighting its design and operational features.
