Prometheus underground stress test First real mine deployment: autonomous drones mapped and navigated via a live 3D point-cloud interface - no GPS, no pilot - with dust emerging as the key constraint. 👉

We uploaded the 3D point-cloud of this mine here: You can preview and explore it directly in the browser (enable Lighting in Attributes for better rendering).

Prometheus v akci: Inteligentní drony z Prahy, které létají v kouři a bez GPS, ukázaly, jak umějí plnit příkazy

Hello, Map “live 3D point-cloud interface” was made with a lidar ?

Yes, our drone has Lidar

Inspired by the mapping drones in the movie Prometheus?

Yes🫡

IFYKYK. BTW, in this movie, all the cave paintings they use as a pointer to the planet of the Engineers are actually real. All around the world, there are cave paintings of the same group of stars. In the movie, it's 6 stars, but in the real world it's 7 stars.

looking back and it was just darkness was scary. do not want to have that ever in my life sweet little baby jesus.

how much of the dust is picked up by the lidar?

Luckily we didn’t notice that during testing.😆

This is how it continued in an alternative reality. Wat?

3D lidar DRONE with tether for control and power. Need this cheap asap.

Love it, reminds me of the pups from the prometheus Kolla in den här videon: ”prometheus pups”

He needs his automaton's blocks...

Hope they thought to bring hearing protection.

This was fascinating to watch.

That looks interesting. How does it perform on rough terrain and what is the flight duration?

Si fuera verdad eso por que no esta solo el Dron y las personas afuera de la mina ?

What, no canary?

Cute. Two decades old. Try this with mesh networks of small drones.

The drone, do you know its IP index?

Так вот от чего этот звук,который был в хоррорах в 60-х и 70-х.)))

Dude, the way those drones render a live 3D point cloud underground is so cool. It's like watching digital pioneers carve into the depths of the earth!
