  • Sensor emplacement using unmanned aircraft systems
    Patent number: 12655740
    Abstract: Systems and methods for sensor emplacement using unmanned aircraft systems (UASs). In some examples, a UAS includes a propulsion system and a sensor emplacement system including an auger and one or more motors. The UAS includes a control system configuring for controlling the propulsion system to land the UAS at a sensor emplacement site and controlling the one or more motors of the sensor emplacement system to drive the auger into soil at the sensor emplacement site. The control system is configured for measuring one or more augering parameters from the sensor emplacement system; and determining, using an autonomous system trained on soil data and augering data, one or more soil classification values for the soil based on the one or more augering parameters.
