Research on extreme environmental exploration using unmanned robots has recently attracted significant attention. In particular, unmanned robot exploration in vast areas such as Antarctica requires a system capable of remotely monitoring and controlling multiple robots. This paper proposes an integrated control system designed to monitor, control, and assign exploration tasks to multiple robots operating in extreme environments. This system utilizes GPS-based collaboration to support specific tasks, such as crevasse exploration and automatic battery charging, in Antarctic target areas. The system’s user interface (UI) is designed for efficiency and integrates elements such as remote control and mission execution commands tailored to the Antarctic environment. The proposed system was implemented using three robot platforms, and through performance evaluation tests in Antarctica, it achieved a cumulative driving distance of over 500 km and over 200 h of operation for over a month. The successful execution of simultaneous crevasse exploration by three robots highlights the system’s capability for coordinated multi-robot operations in extreme environments. Full article

Exploring crevasses in extreme environments such as Antarctica is highly dangerous yet essential for ensuring safe movement. Recently, robotic systems have been investigated as a means to conduct exploration in such regions. Unlike conventional settings, these environments require integrated capabilities, including mobility in harsh terrain and the ability to operate reliably at extremely low temperatures. In this paper, we propose KAREX (Korea Antarctic Robot EXplorer), a robotic exploration system designed to investigate crevasses and support research activities in extreme environments. The robot is engineered for cold resistance with thermal insulation that enables low-power temperature maintenance, and it supports multiple swappable batteries for extended-range operation. The proposed system was tested at Jang Bogo Station in Antarctica to verify its performance and applicability in real-world extreme conditions. Full article
