Abstract: This paper proposes a novel approach for soil estimation and classification in autonomous excavation exploiting key features from bucket velocity and energy signatures considering the interaction dynamic of the digging process. A real-time energy-based method is proposed for estimating the dynamic friction force arising during soil-tool interaction.

Excavation standards require a competent person to classify soil and rock deposits as: Stable rock; Type A soil; Type B soil; or Type C soil. See Appendix A to Subpart P of Part 1926 – Soil Classification. Stable Rock – Natural solid mineral matter that can be excavated with vertical sides and remain intact while exposed.

Soil can be classified into three primary types based on its texture – sand, silt and clay. However, the percentage of these can vary, resulting in more compound types of soil such as loamy sand, sandy clay, silty clay, etc. 2. State the characteristics of sandy soil. Sandy soil essentially consists of small particles formed by weathering rocks.
