The article considers the key benefits of the walking drilling installation. It lists the basic types of propulsion devices which make it possible to move along the sea floor surface. Their shortcomings are indicated. In order to perform geological exploration works on the surface of the sea floor we suggest using the two-point drilling installation with the stepping propulsor developed in 2016. Working in autonomous mode according to the set program it can pass definite trajectories on the bottom, concurrently extracting the samples of bottom deposits. We describe a principle of moving (the system’s center of mass transfer while walking) and demonstrate the installation’s motion trajectories along the sea floor surface.
