Resumen de Husky robot explores terrain too dull, dirty and deadly for miners
Husky enjoys mapping out new territories and collecting data on them - the more inhospitable the better. He is under half a metre tall, weighs around 50kg, and there are 175 versions of him active in different locations globally. Husky is a robot, one of four different models developed and produced by Clearpath Robotics to carry out the world's "dullest, dirtiest and deadliest jobs".
"Husky's compatibility with ROS made experiments run smoothly in terms of communicating between processes, sensors and the Husky itself;" says [Martin Adams].
Already, a mining company in Chile has begun discussions with Adams over acquiring similar robotic systems to create 3D maps in their mines. In North America, one of the continent's largest mining businesses is in talks with Queen's University about automated tractor technology. The US-based university used Husky to create an automated vehicle, which it may be able to sell to the mining
