Mine Equipment Autonomous Inspection via Drones

LTU Robotics and AI team during illuMINEation develop autonomous drones as agile inspectors, first response units, and data link extenders for underground mines. Their integration with the mining equipment will provide additional value to mining operations. In the following video, our drone with embedded collision avoidance navigates autonomously on a coverage inspection mission around the Epiroc Scooptram ST14. This is only one of our multiple autonomous missions.
