The rapid search for survivors is required at landslide disaster sites, which occur after earthquakes, heavy rain, and accidents. At the present moment, a pole is inserted into the landslide as search method. In this research, a novel inspector is developed and verified, which can willingly move through the dirt. This inspector aims to be able to generate the necessary propulsion force as well as to steer its direction by itself. The proposed propulsion method is inspired in the movement of a mole, which advances efficiently by pushing aside the dirt. The characteristics and the efficiency of the proposed method are verified through basic experiments. Then, the verification of the behavior through burrowing as well as the possibility of steering is verified through experiments. In addition, the burrowing inspector is equipped with sensors, and it is verified the efficiency of information gathering through the landslide.
