Any parents on here should quickly realise that it has real world applications in....

Finding your way through a kids bedroom to find the dirty laundry that has been sitting there going mouldy for 6 weeks.

It seems almost like a mine field that you have to "map" your way through, so that you don't step on a jam sandwich or wet 'grey/green' towels,
maybe it will help to find our kids when we tell them to get up, but then have to locate them in the junk pile of STUFF.

Any one here that can afford the $K's for that lidar gear, let alone the drone ?

Looks like a cool bit of kit! Would hate to see the price tag! Average drone mounted Lidar generally kicks off at 30 to 40k!

I don't think I'd fly like that in a mine!!
The one's they are using right know have a cage around them... they can bounce off walls and still be ok!

Worth it to get the kids to school on time.
