GOLDRIVERBOT / AUTONOMOUS RIVER SURVEY

A field robot for the places maps miss.

GoldRiverBot is a preliminary concept for a tracked, instrumented river crawler that surveys alluvial bends, records geological context, and returns a traceable concentrate sample. It is a design study—not a proven commercial product.

From reconnaissance to evidence

Aerial context, underwater perception, pulsed-induction experiments, and disciplined sampling are joined into one field workflow. Every gold result is treated as a hypothesis until blanks, standards, and laboratory assays agree.

  • Deploy from a bank, boat, or helicopter-supported field camp.
  • Keep a synchronized map of track, depth, turbidity, sensor readings, and retained concentrate.
  • Design for retrieval and inspection when conditions exceed the envelope.
