使用无人机系统（UAS）自主部署土壤传感器，可以将其安装在其他难以进入的位置。在本文中，我们提出了一个集成了无人机和挖掘机构的系统，该系统可以有效地携带，保护和安装一个小型传感器到污垢中。该集成系统包括：1)一个低轮廓、轻重量、廉价的螺旋钻机构；2)一个低功耗的传感器携带和部署机构；3)在挖掘过程中控制和评估螺旋钻性能的传感器和软件。当在一组目标土壤和120mm的目标深度上进行测试时，该系统在室内测试中的成功率为100%，在室外测试中的成功率为92.5%，验证了该方法的潜力。
Using an Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) to autonomously deploy soil sensors enables their installation in otherwise hard to access locations. In this paper, we present a system that integrates a UAS and a digging mechanism which can carry, secure, and install a small sensor into dirt effectively and efficiently. The integrated system includes 1) a low profile, light-weight, inexpensive auger mechanism, 2) a sensor carrying and deploying mechanism with low power consumption, and 3) sensors and software that control and evaluate the auger performance during digging. When tested on a suite of target soils and a target depth of 120mm, the system achieved a success rate of 100% for indoor tests and 92.5% for outdoors, verifying the potential of the approach.
