Summary: This project aims to develop algorithms and sensor packages for determining the three-dimensional position and orientation of machines operating in underground mines. A variety of sensor technologies, including laser range finders and inertial measurement units, will be investigated, adapted and field-tested in real-world mining situations. A self-contained control system platform, including supporting sensor packages and appropriate algorithms, will be developed to suit the range of accuracy and cost requirements as demanded by industry. The project outcomes will enable machines and vehicles to be positioned and operated accurately within a mine, increasing the productivity and safety of mining operations.'',
