Seemingly every industry is finding ways to use drones in some way or another, but deep underground it’s a different story. In the confines of a mine or pipeline, with no GPS and little or no light, off-the-shelf drones are helpless — but an Australian startup called Emesent is giving them the spatial awareness and intelligence to navigate and map those spaces autonomously.

A “monotonous” survey of the sea floor has resulted in the unlocking of a 128-year shipwreck mystery.
Last year, scientists from Australia’s chief scientific research agency, CSIRO, found the wreck of a sailing vessel called Carlisle in Australia’s Bass Strait, which is located between the states of Victoria and Tasmania.
As first reported by the ABC, CSIRO released footage of the wreck captured by research ship Investigator, which is cruising down Australia’s east coast on a surveying mission to improve charts of a primary shipping route and subsurface navigation. Read more…
