They talk a lot about the mapping system they have developed in the interview, I wonder if there's any more information about it available? I can only imagine what'll be possible when technology like that is availabile more freely
Seriously though, impressive display by the teams. Someday in the future I will be able to sit outside an abandoned mine drinking coffee while the robots map it all out in 3d.
Wouldn't a miniature drone swarm be more accessible and quicker I wonder? Battery time would be an issue I understand but the mapping would also be quicker, in less than 30 minutes perhaps.
