Efficient Autonomous Navigation of a Quadruped Robot in Underground Mines on Edge Hardware
Description
Embodied navigation in underground mines faces significant challenges, including narrow passages, uneven terrain, near-total darkness, GPS-denied conditions, and limited communication infrastructure. While recent learning-based approaches rely on GPU-accelerated inference and extensive training data, we present a fully autonomous navigation stack for a Boston Dynamics Spot quadruped robot that runs entirely on a low-power Intel NUC edge computer with no GPU and no network connectivity requiremen
