Autonomous soil sensing, at scale
Aardvark provides an end-to-end solution for the automation of soil sensing, using its unique robots. Operating in harsh conditions for months on-end without intervention, Aardvark robots collect valuable soil data for various applications, from the calibration of satellite data through soil quality measurement for agriculture to subsurface mapping.
Surface deformation
The ground doesn't rest, it moves and shifts, rises and sinks. A special interesting case is the case of inland dikes. Those dikes may erode with time, and need to be monitored periodically for structural faults.
There are 4000 km of such inland dikes in the Netherlands, and due to their narrow shape and vegetation, they cannot be monitored remotely using interferometry SAR
We offer a superior solution, by combining a relative height map derived from the robot's inertial navigation unit, and high accuracy (3-4mm) absolute anchor points using post-processing of GNSS data
Lawn monitoring
Lawn is a desired type of green area, it is aesthetic and promotes positive feelings. We want healthy lawns in our cities, in our parks and on our golf courses.
We can maintain healthier grass, while reducing waste of water and use of chemicals, simply by keeping a closer eye on the health of our grass. By driving a small robot with sensors on it
It is intended for municipalities, turf-growers and golf-courses
