In this session, we will be joined by the Exyn Technologies team to explore how autonomous robots, using the latest LiDAR and SLAM technologies, are transforming underground mine surveying—delivering safer, faster and more accurate data than traditional survey methods.

Designed for mining professionals, surveyors and technology leaders, the webinar will demonstrate how the Exyn Nexys enables fully autonomous data capture in hazardous, GPS-denied and inaccessible underground environments.

Through real-world case studies, attendees will gain insight into how autonomous robotics can improve safety by reducing the need for personnel to enter dangerous areas, while simultaneously increasing the speed and accuracy of survey data collection.

We look forward to your participation and an engaging discussion during the session!
