Successful field tests of autonomous drones in underground mines
“Our close collaboration with LKAB has given us the opportunity to conduct large-scale evaluations of our research, and we are now able to show that autonomous robots can be used to increase safety in deep mines. Our large-scale field test at LKAB’s Konsuln mine means we can show for the first time how robots can autonomously collaborate on performing complex tasks in a dark, inaccessible, harsh environment where GPS systems do not work,” says Björn Lindqvist, researcher in robotics and artificial intelligence at Luleå University of Technology.
