Robotic arm 28 may be deployed to prepare and/or analyze samples of a geologic target. In its deployed position, arm 28 extends outwardly from robotic vehicle 10 to the position of the geologic target. Arm 28 may then utilize a plurality of instruments to prepare (e.g., crush, grind, drill, scrape, etc.) and/or analyze a sample of the geologic target. In one embodiment, arm 28 includes one or more sample preparation instruments (e.g., rock abrasion tools, drills, etc.) and one or more sample analysis instruments (e.g., spectrometers, magnets, etc.). 1, record 1, English, - rock%20abrasion%20tool
