Support unmanned mining vehicles to achieve efficient transportation

The mining environment is complex, the working conditions are harsh and the risk factor is high. Solving the transportation problem in the mining area is directly related to the mining efficiency of the mining area. The relatively closed mining area is one of the most likely scenarios for unmanned driving. On the one hand, unmanned driving can reduce safety accidents in the mining area, on the other hand, it can reduce the cost of drivers. Therefore, the location calibration of the unmanned mining truck and the drawing of the base map of the mining area have become the top priority.
