Aardvark Sensing BV

Aardvark Sensing provides an autonomous robotic ecosystem designed for large-scale and long-running soil surveys. Our durable robots operate continuously for extended periods without human intervention, conducting systematic scans of agricultural land with navigational accuracy at the centimeter level and a continuous connection to the cloud. Carrying various sensing payloads on board, including spectrometers, cosmic ray neutron detectors, acoustic sonar, ground-penetrating radar and more, each robot gathers essential data on soil characteristics. These measurements include surface roughness, soil compaction, soil moisture, mineral content, nutrient levels, sub-surface soil structure, and more. Our primary goals are to improve soil classification models derived from Sentinel data and enhance the resolution of soil moisture assessments from SMOS satellites. By providing ground truth data to improve satellite data application, we leverage the vast availability of satellite data.
