This is the Mining Systems Laboratory's (msl.engineering.queensu.ca) Husky robot equipped with several sensors, including a Voldyne HDL-32E LiDAR, scanning a rock face near Ivey Lea, Ontario, Canada. Although the video isn't particularly exciting, it represents a first step in some of our new robotic geotechnical research.

Charles River Analytics and their teammate, 5D Robotics, are developing an intuitive soldier-machine interface for controlling robotic leader-follower systems in small team operations. The Multi-modal Interface for Natural Operator Teaming with Autonomous Robots, or MINOTAUR, fuses multiple proven leader-tracking and robot control technologies to provide a reliable, hands-free interface for Warfighters operating in challenging environments.

They chose the Husky UGV as the mobile plaform for testing MINOTAUR in the field.
