Towards Autonomous Surveying of Underground Mine using MAVs
Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) are platforms that received great attention during the last decade. Recently, the mining industry has been considering the usage of aerial autonomous platforms in their processes. This article initially investigates potential application scenarios for this technology in mining. Moreover, one of the main tasks refer to surveillance and maintenance of infrastructure assets. Employing these robots for underground surveillance processes of areas like shafts, tunnels or large voids after blasting, requires among others the development of elaborate navigation modules. This paper proposes a method to assist the navigation capabilities of MAVs in challenging mine environments, like tunnels and vertical shafts. The proposed method considers the use of Potential Fields method, tailored to implement a sense-and-avoid system using a minimal ultrasound-based sensory system. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.
