UWRT Capstone Collaboration Soil Sample Collection Proposal

Project abstract

Every year, landfills and chemical leakage are polluting the soils. Scientists need to analyze the soil sample frequently to evaluate the state of the soil at different sites. Geologists are usually required to help with the soil analysis process. The objective of this project is to design an intelligent science module that can dig the soil sample to a certain depth and seal the sample to avoid contamination. The main advantage of the design is that it will reduce the number of scientists involved in the soil collection process and increase the number of sites one scientist can analyze.

Constraints:

  • The Module should be portable

  • The Module should be able to determine the operation location autonomously and notify the robot of the start of the operation.
