SYNOPSIS

Wide array of geotechnical instruments is being used for construction project, in land and offshore contexts for better control of the process. This also helped to ensure safety. The current norm is to manually conduct measurement and collect data. This can be extremely slow and less efficient. This research involved the development of a Robotic Integrated Total System (RITS) to fully automate the collection, compilation, and analysis of instrumentation data for site monitoring. This system consists of a tracked robotic surveyor and an auto linear movement data capturing device.
