Astronauts are able to stay long-term in space because of space development. In long-term stay, the collection of excrement is one of main issues due to difficulty of collecting excrement under microgravity, odor in spaceship, and noise of exhaust fan. Therefore, in this paper, we propose Insert-type Toilet that has an openable and closable apparatus and it is used by being inserted to the anus. Advantages of it is collecting excrement without defecating to outside and preventing diffusion of odor. In order to verify its capability, we also develop Defecation Robot that duplicates organs and movements of muscles around the pelvis for mimicking human-like defecation. Furthermore, we verify defecation and collecting capability of Defecation Robot and Insert-type Toilet by conducting the experiment.
