…that used in the recent DARPA Subterranean (SubT) Challenge? “The technologies are comparable—they're using SLAM, fusing data from laser scanners and cameras,” Foessel told Robotics 24/7. “On the one hand, the SubT prototypes included different sensing configurations. For example, they had more cameras and orthogonal rotating scanners.” “We have one rotating laser scanner and one camera,” he explained. “Ours is…
