A key capability for autonomous underground mining vehicles is real-time accurate localisation. While significant progress has been made, currently deployed systems have several limitations ranging from dependence on costly additional infrastructure to failure of both visual and range-sensor-based t…
Many mine-site processes such as vehicle operation require localisation systems that are reliable, robust and work in a range of environmental conditions. In underground operations, GPS is not available: solutions instead rely on static infrastructure or expensive, laser-based solutions with limited
This work presents Semi-Supervised SLAM - a method for developing a map suitable for coarse localization within an underground environment with minimal human intervention, with system characteristics driven by real-world requirements of major mining companies. This work leverages existing informatio…
