Abstract
The invention relates to a drilling robot (2) for drilling a borehole (1). The drilling robot (2) comprises a movement unit (7) for moving and stabilizing the drilling robot (2) inside the borehole (1), a drilling unit (6) for drilling the borehole (1) and an extrusion unit (9) for producing a pipe (10) within the borehole (1) to support the borehole (1). A material feed unit (11) feeds extrusion material into the extrusion unit (9). The extrusion unit (9) comprises a melting unit which melts the extrusion material to be extruded into its final dimensions.
