In these two videos you will see some recent results on autonomous exploration of tunnels in visually-degraded (dark) conditions. Both localization and mapping, as well as path planning and control are handled completely autonomously.

Dear Ed. Although we are currently not working on a commercial product, I can tell you that all the components here are low-cost. They are cameras, LEDs, IMUs, embedded electronics (custom-built) and the only thing that increases the price is the addition of Time-of-flight cameras.
One of our main application scenarios relates to nuclear site decommissioning support. Others also are considered.
Thanks for info Kostas
Hi Andrea,
Thanks for your interest. Most of the work is either published ( http://www.autonomousrobotslab.com/publications.html ) or under review etc. Still however, this talk covers a significant part of the technology: https://youtu.be/4ko2K6jFwaU
And of course there are some many other groups and researchers to follow that work in these domains.
Best,
Kostas
Awesome works!
Can we have some links to technical documentation, schematic diagram of hardware and software used and the like?
Ciao
Andrea
