DARPA’s Subterranean Challenge
- tastyfreeze 4y agoFirst responders or... hunter killers. 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.
- nomilk 4y ago> This point cloud assembled by Team CSIRO Data61 shows a robotic view of nearly the entire SubT course, with each dot in the cloud representing a point in 3D space measured by a sensor on a robot. Team CSIRO’s point cloud differed from DARPA’s official map by less than 1 percent https://i.imgur.com/1Mi9YwA.png https://i.imgur.com/1Mi9YwA.png

- farseer 4y agoWouldn'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.
