Project Yukionna: Fabricating Ice Components for Robots via Formative Methods (Fully Demonstration Video of Field Experiments)

Ice, a naturally abundant resource in polar regions and extraterrestrial environments, has gained significant attention for its potential applications in robotics. However, there is a noticeable gap in existing research concerning the manufacturing processes of ice-based components, particularly those utilizing formative technologies for field deployment. Furthermore, outdoor field validations of robots incorporating ice components remain scarce.This series of videos are the manufacturing records and testing videos for ice-based robotic components (specifically, the ice wheel).
