ROGO Soil Sampling Robot

Overview

The ROGO Soil Sampling Robot is an autonomous agricultural robot designed for precision soil sampling. It integrates a Kubota base with custom robotic systems including a ground-referenced sampling arm, dual-antenna RTK GPS, and computer-controlled hydraulics to achieve consistent core depth within 1/8 inch, complete core extraction, and repeatable sample locations within 3 feet. The robot automates the entire sampling process including driving, coring, bagging, barcode labeling, and manifest printing to reduce human error to a 1 in 1,000 rate.
