MINES

Exploring old mines is a complex and hazardous task that can put human lives at risk. The use of robots equipped with lidar (laser-based remote sensing) can greatly facilitate this task. Robots can be programmed to explore mines and collect real-time data with great precision, creating detailed maps of the inside of mines. This mapping is essential to assess collapse risks, identify unstable areas, and spot historical remnants or potential resources. Lidar-equipped robots are also faster and more efficient than humans, reducing labor costs and increasing operational safety.

In summary, sending a robot equipped with lidar to map old mines is an effective and safe solution for exploring and managing these complex sites.

How it works

SPACE TIME mine mapping workflow from data capture and 3D reconstitution to analysis and visualization
Spot robot capturing precise LiDAR data inside a mine tunnel with uneven terrain

Our scanning technology (here our great robot dog) follows a specific path through the tunnels even with uneven terrain, to capture exhaustive, precise and quantifiable information of all the mine.

Data Capture

3D reconstitution of an underground mine created from LiDAR scanning data

All scanned data is assembled to create a 3D visual environment as an accurate replica of the actual mine.

3D Reconstitution

Mine data analysis using 3D scans to assess cavities, tunnel stability, and collapse risks

Our proprietary technology allows us to develop a specific analysis bringing precise and useful information on the mine's condition such as cavities' description or galleries' stability.

Data Analysis

4D mine visualization platform for exploring underground tunnels and comparing data over time

Our platform allows the experts to navigate in the 4D twin and even go back in time to analyse differences through different data capture periods.
