Autonomous Robots in Mining: The Differences Between Online and Offline SLAM
There are many ways we can empower robots to navigate their environment autonomously. We can equip them with GPS, use an array of cameras and sensors (including smell), even get them to talk with each other and strategize. But if you want a robot to do all that on its own without using any outside sensors…
