Title:

Continued development of semi-autonomous obstacle avoidance drone for underground mining

Agreement Number:

910232

Agreement Value:

$25,000.00

Agreement Date:

Jul 9, 2018 - Feb 28, 2019

Description:

As we move to transform the mining industry with applied drone Technology we are building on the base platform of our DB2 unit to create a DB3 unit that has the ability to support the pilot with recognize environments and avoid collisions. Our current unit in operation supports imaging and 360 degree LiDAR. Our Project goal is to increase "flight support" and decrease the needed skill level of the pilot. This will make the technology more accessible to a broader group of operational staff, reduce the risk of loss during flight and increase the success rate in complex flight plans. Over all the project will create a product that has more applications underground and is easier to use.
