Project Overview
• Project context• CM Automation component of the CM2010 initiative
• Project grand goal• A remotely supervised continuous miner for roadway development
• Project impact • Essential and major component of CM2010 goals • Immediate health and safety benefits• Immediate productivity benefits
• We are now halfway through 3 year project

Enabling Technology
• Need to develop navigation system suitable for accurate control of CM
• Can’t use GPS underground (without a lot of additional infrastructure)
• Technology needs to be physically robust, reliable, accurate and ideally self-contained (doesn’t rely on external infrastructure)
• Technology needs to work under all normal CM operating conditions
• Inertial navigation meets most of the above criteria• Already proven in longwall mining automation (but higher
performance required for CM automation)• Reasonably self contained (but needs odometry/velocity aiding)• Has the additional benefit of providing real-time accurate CM
pitch/roll/heading information at the CM• Need to develop a non-contact odometry solution for this system to
be practical

Non-Contact Odometry
• Inertial navigation system requires an external aiding source to achieve required position accuracy
• An accurate non-contact odometer is key to practical CM navigation system:
• Needs to be non-contact to be practical • Needs to be rugged-isable• Needs to be immune/tolerant to dust, moisture, vibration• Needs to be very accurate – navigation algorithms are very
sensitive to latency (<40mS), accuracy, timing and measurement jitter
• Multi-sensor solution provides redundancy benefits

Results so far
• A CM navigation system has been developed • Non-contact odometry solutions have been developed for
velocity aiding using hybrid technologies• Ultra low speed Doppler radar• Optical flow position sensor (like an optical mouse)
• A skid steer vehicle The Phoenix has been customised for evaluating the navigation system performance

Test Platform Development: Phoenix
• Phoenix provided a realistic CM-like platform for VMS-aided navigation testing
• Installation of RTK GPS equipment on Phoenix for ground-truth reference
• Installation of RTK surveyed base station at QCAT and radio link to Phoenix
• Doppler radar and optical position sensor installed• Sagem Sigma30 INS installed• Custom-developed control and communication systems installed • Navigation experiments conducted on both paved and unpaved
(rough) tracks
