Abstract
A robotic soil sampling assembly for rapidly obtaining a soil sample from each of multiple sites includes a rolling chassis, to which a sampling apparatus and a computer are attached. The sampling apparatus comprises an auger, a plurality of containers, a robotic manager, and a robotic handler. The robotic manager selectively positions a respective container in axial alignment with the auger, whereupon it is selectively gripped by the robotic handler and selectively positioned along an axis that is defined by the auger. A drill motor and a drill actuator selectively rotate and drill the auger, respectively, into ground upon which the rolling chassis is positioned. The computer is programmed to selectively actuate a pair of chassis motors to sequentially position the rolling chassis at sampling sites and to selectively actuate the sampling apparatus for obtaining a soil sample, which is deposited into an associated container.
