The goal of this research is to develop an on-the-spot soil analyzer (OSA) capable of simultaneously deploying several different sensors to measure soil properties at a predefined depth. The mechanism developed is able to rapidly remove topsoil, condition the soil surface and bring the designated sensors into direct contact with the soil. After the measurements are obtained and the geographical coordinates are recorded, the analyzer is converted into transportation mode and is then ready for the next set of measurements. Unlike other systems, this mechanism allows for the deployment of multiple sensors at a given measurement depth and in a completely automated mode of operation. This technology should provide an opportunity to extend the suite of deployable sensors and to automate the process, thus allowing for advanced sensor fusion algorithms and integrated data acquisition practices.
