Project Info
Underground Autonomous Flight
Andrew Petruska| apetruska@mines.edu
Autonomous underground exploration is the next frontier of robotic challenges. The space has unique challenges owning to the lack of light, confined nature, and lack of GPS and communications. We are working on autonomous platforms to navigate through this space and are in need of motivated students to help us tackle this problem.
