These Surveyors Were Made For Walkin’: The Impact of 3D Mobile Mapping
In the mining industry, the analysis of underground cavities has traditionally relied on terrestrial laser scanners that are mounted on booms or tripods to capture detailed scans. However, the high-tech world of robotics and AI has help to create a more elegant solution. This week’s Blog from Exyn Technologies talks about their SLAM technology and…

Autonomous Robots Can Resurrect Dormant Hardrock Mines
An underground gold mine closed since the 1940s probably isn’t the first place you’d expect to find a demonstration of cutting-edge drone mapping technology. Yet, in this unlikely setting, pioneering autonomous robots are taking mining cartography to new heights. This week’s Blog from Exyn Technologies explores the benefits of allowing autonomous aerial robots underground to…
