Congratulations to MSL alumnus Marc Gallant, now with Quanergy Systems, who was recently nominated by Queen’s University’s Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering for the prestigious Governor General’s Academic Gold Medal for his research in robotic geotechnical and his thesis Axis Mapping: The Estimation of Surface Orientations and its Applications in Vehicle Localization and Structural Geology.
Congrats to MSL’s Jordan Mitchell for placing 3rd in this year’s poster competition at the 2017 SME Annual Conference & Expo and CMA’s 119th National Western Mining Conference & Exhibition last week in Denver, CO! Jordan also recently placed 1st at the 2017 CIM Conference & Exhibition‘s student poster competition in Montreal, QC.
The new Springer Handbook of Robotics is out, and what better place to read Chapter 59: Robotics in Mining—written in part by MSL’s Joshua Marshall—than underground on a really big mining robot.
