A sampling system includes a sampler, a projector, a camera, an arm, and a controller with the sampler, projector, and camera being located at the distal end of the arm. The projector projects a reference mark including a line with a predetermined shape onto a ground surface and the camera captures images of the projected mark. The controller is configured to obtain the size of the projected line based on the camera images. The controller adjusts the projector height position based on the line size and specifies a sampling point for inserting the sampler based on the camera images of the projected mark.
