Due to the remoteness and harshness of some environments, integrating mobile robotics and seismic surveying to automate the process becomes very attractive. Because robotic applications to seismic surveying have been extremely limited, this paper represents a base for sparking novel techniques that can potentially be employed in any environment and potentially on other planets. It also presents a categorization of techniques involving robotic seismic automation. Traditional seismic methods are analyzed in terms of robotic automation possibilities and compared in terms of strengths, weaknesses, reliability, relative cost, and complexity. Futuristic seismic methods such as Hybrid Streamers and a Multi-Robot Seismic Surveying Team are also discussed in detail, along with simulation results from a multi-robot grid formation study.
