BADGER system handbook

This book, “BADGER: Key Technologies, Applications, and Industrial Cases” is the first book launched by the BADGER project consortium. The aim of this book, “BADGER: Key Technologies, Applications, and Industrial Cases” is to showcase some of the recent developments in the area of trenchless horizontal directional drilling. The portfolio of chapters in this book presents the modular structure of the BADGER robotic autonomous robotic system. The control architecture is the frame that enables the design and operation of the BADGER robotic system. Following, the different modules are presented: steering and propulsion, clamping system, ground penetrating radar, etc. Finally, integration and testing scenarios are presented.This book, “BADGER: Key Technologies, Applications, and Industrial Cases” is the first book launched by the BADGER project consortium.
