Oxpecker: A Tethered UAV for Inspection of Stone-Mine Pillars

Oxpecker: A Tethered UAV for Inspection of Stone-Mine Pillars

This paper presents a state-of-the-art tethered unmanned aerial vehicle (TUAV) for structural integrity assessment of underground stone mine pillars. The TUAV, powered by its tether, works in tandem with an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) that hosts the TUAV batteries, a self-leveled landing platform,...
