Routes and terrain
Provide representative routes, passage dimensions, slopes, steps and ground photographs.
APPLICATIONS
Mine inspection
Robot development and staged testing for mobility, localization and equipment inspection in complex underground passages.
Field research informs the plan
This footage shows an earlier research platform. Q1 remains at the engineering prototype stage.
Plan testing around the passage
Underground routes often lack GNSS. Low light, uneven ground and dust also affect navigation and access. Assess passage width, gradients, steps and gravel before selecting the platform, sensors and communications. Test arrival, data capture, record storage and human review in stages.
Information for project assessment
Inspection targets
List equipment, inspection locations and the information to capture.
Site conditions
Describe lighting, dust, communications and the areas and times available for testing.
