Mining & Tunneling
Underground mine & stope mapping
LiDAR drones mapping stopes, drifts and voids underground.
People ask for this as: “stope scanning drone”, “underground LiDAR drone”
How it works
Robots used
- Underground LiDAR Drone
Ways to buy it
- Service — you pay for the outcome (one inspection, one show, X acres).
- Purchase Buy the robot (plus software and service plans, usually).
- Raas — a subscription covering robot, software and support.
Bot or Not?
A robot makes sense when…
- The job is high, dangerous, or hard to reach
- It is huge or repetitive (acres, nights, square metres)
- You need data you will compare over time
- You need eyes on it right now
Hire a human when…
- It is small, low and one-off
- It needs hands, judgement or a repair
- Weather, permits or timing make robots awkward
- Nobody has defined the job yet
Here's the catch for this job
- Autonomy retrofits on existing fleets can be cheaper than new trucks.
- Underground drones need non-GPS navigation (LiDAR SLAM).
