Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for maneuvering through a medium such as soil are disclosed. One such apparatus has a generally longitudinal body that can impel itself through the medium. This apparatus also has at least two independently-controllable packers arranged radially on its body to compress and grip the medium in order to provide forward, backward, and directional impulsion.
