Heterogeneous Ground and Air Platforms, Homogeneous Sensing: Team CSIRO Data61's Approach to the DARPA Subterranean Challenge
The paper describes Team CSIRO Data61 systems fielded across DARPA Subterranean Challenge circuits.
Evidence notes
- The heterogeneous team combines ground robots and an Emesent Hovermap UAV using homogeneous sensing for decentralized multi-agent SLAM.
- The system reuses a common perception module across platforms to support autonomy in tunnels, urban underground spaces, and caves.
Company context
Autonomous mapping company behind Hovermap, a LiDAR and SLAM payload used on drones, handheld systems and mobile robots.
