Our Problem:
Excavating dirt and rock with hand tools is time consuming, expensive, and often leads to breaking priceless artifacts.
Our Solution:
We created a robot called the Digg-E, which expands what excavation teams can do with their funding and deadlines. Digg-E has a GPR (ground-penetrating radar) system that can use its radar to take 3D images of a dig site. This allows excavation teams to know where artifacts are so they don't accidentally break them while digging, and dig less carefully in areas they know that don't have any delicate objects.
Our Process:
