What we're working out

The open engineering problems behind the platforms. Write-ups and whitepapers are published here as results firm up.

Active development

Terrain classification from fused sensor data

Surface type, roughness, and traversability scoring from LiDAR geometry and camera texture, evaluated against ground truth collected in the Campsie Fells.

Field validation

RTK-degraded localisation

Holding centimetre-class position estimates through GNSS dropouts using LiDAR-inertial odometry as the correction source.

Early work

Digital twin change detection

Comparing repeated georeferenced surveys of the same site to surface what changed, where, and by how much.
