Area of Science:

Agricultural Robotics
Environmental Monitoring
Nuclear Decontamination

Background:

Farmlands near the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) require extensive recovery efforts post-accident.
Accurate, real-time data on radioactive contamination and soil fertility is crucial for effective land management.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and test a tractor-based robot for real-time assessment of radioactive material density and soil fertility.
To accelerate the recovery process of contaminated farmlands.

Main Methods:

Development of a tractor-based robotic system capable of real-time assessment.
Field testing in a decontaminated farmland near FDNPP.
Utilizing the robot to map soil contamination and fertility distribution.

Main Results:

The robot successfully clarified within-field heterogeneities of soil contamination and fertility in near real-time.
Obtained results showed consistency with conventional soil sampling methods.
The robot's data aligned with historical decontamination activity records.

Conclusions:

The developed robot is effective for rapid, real-time assessment of farmland conditions post-nuclear accident.
This technology can significantly contribute to the efficient recovery and management of contaminated agricultural lands.
Robotic assessment offers a viable alternative to traditional methods for mapping soil properties and contamination levels.
