Smart Core Version 3

The Smart core is a robot designed to correct the inconsistencies and fatigues that could be associated with the manual sampling of soil whether for agricultural or research purpose. It is essentially an unmanned autonomous vehicle that is GPS guided within a specified boundary within which soil is to be sampled.

The robot is equipped with Lidar based obstacle avoidance system which enables it to automatically manoeuvre its way in order to avoid obstacles or stops totally if there are no safe paths.

SmartCore is literally meant to be put in a field, given directives, and left alone until it has finished. It would then ready to be picked up and moved to the next assigned field. It has been designed to be working 24/7 to expand the opportunity for soil sampling to be done at the right time. Accurate soil extraction, repeatable sample location, done correctly…every time. source
