A new approach in soil sampling methods: an innovative solution designed to change the field completely. It combines advanced robotics, artificial intelligence, self-operating sampling, and immediate soil analysis to make operations thorough and efficient.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

NOMAD, developed in partnership with ERG, is a robotic system to autonomously drill, sample, store and analyze soil sampling for geological exploration. It was developed to operate in difficult landscapes, like those in Saudi Arabia, thanks to its advanced technology inspired by space exploration. Its special design includes a system that lets it move across rough terrain, sensors for quickly analyzing soil samples, and a powerful drill for collecting samples from deep underground.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The main goal is to improve accuracy and efficiency in soil sampling. Traditional ways are usually slow, use a lot of resources, and can be risky for people. NOMAD works to speed up the sampling process, make it more precise, and make it safer.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNavigating the Kingdom\u2019s complex terrain, with its extreme conditions and rugged landscapes, poses a core challenge for mineral explorers. The terrain in the areas tested comprised shallow cover over residual regolith and proved the suitability of implementing NOMAD in the region perfectly. The robot excelled in boosting operational efficiency by an astounding 400% compared to conventional manual exploration methods.\u201d said Aaron Baensch, Head of ERG Technology Intelligence.
