The dynamic penetrometer is a common technique in geotechnical exploration and widely deployed throughout the world. However, while this technique has many advantages, it also has several disadvantages that can hinder its use and development. Indeed, it has evolved little, and its application has sometimes remained "rustic". But in recent years with the development of sensors, interpretation methods and digital technology, this technique has been adapted to improve the quality of measurement, the understanding of the phenomena occurring during the test and its exploitation. This article presents the recent developments and adaptations of this technique and their potential. After a brief review of the principle, history, and current limitations of the technique, we look at recent technological developments and the latest advances in terms of interpreting and using the test.
