ABSTRACT

This project will create a hardware-algorithm prototype for real-time subsurface geohazard assessment. It combines low-cost sensors with a swarm exploration algorithm to address the need for rapid, affordable geotechnical data. Internal funding will support prototype development, market research, and preparing for external grant applications.
