Capture of images in inaccessible areas in an underground mine using an unmanned aerial vehicle

Abstract: Underground operation is a complex mining method where safety, stability, and ore recovery issues, among other factors, could be an obstacle to operations. In most cases, a simple review of the site could help engineers to understand and solve the problems. To create this overview, many types of images captured were considered. The non-entry mining method used at Cuiabá mine does not allow people to enter the stopes after blasting. The only way to obtain images after blasting is by using drones or other unmann… Show more

“…Flying robots (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles-UAVs) are a promising alternative to ground robots for subterranean operations (Freire and Cota, 2017;Preston and Roy, 2017;Rogers et al, 2017;Jones et al, 2019;Mansouri et al, 2019). As they fly, they are not impaired by obstacles or liquid on the floor.…”

“…Most of the work about subterranean exploration has been focused on a single wheeled or tracked robot (Morris et al, 2006) that is coupled with a SLAM algorithm to build a 3-D map (Thrun et al, 2004). Single UAVs are, however, increasingly tested in mines and they show promising results (Freire and Cota, 2017;Preston and Roy, 2017;Jones et al, 2019;Mansouri et al, 2019). They have, for instance, been deployed by many teams during the DARPA Subterranean Challenge (https://www.…”
