Short summary
Short summary
The UNEXMIN (Horizon 2020) and UNEXUP (EIT RawMaterials) projects developed a novel technology to send robots and even autonomously deliver optical images, 3D maps and other georeferenced scientific data from flooded underground environments, like abandoned mines, caves or wells. The concept turned into a market-ready solution in seven years, where the last few years of field trials of the development beautifully demonstrating the technology’s premier capabilities.
