#4They talk a lot about the mapping system they have developed in the interview, I wonder if there's any more information about it available? I can only imagine what'll be possible when technology like that is availabile more freely

#6First responders or... hunter killers.
Seriously though, impressive display by the teams. Someday in the future I will be able to sit outside an abandoned mine drinking coffee while the robots map it all out in 3d.

#7kinda like the floating orb robots from prometheus.

#8Wouldn't a miniature drone swarm be more accessible and quicker I wonder? Battery time would be an issue I understand but the mapping would also be quicker, in less than 30 minutes perhaps.

#9> This point cloud assembled by Team CSIRO Data61 shows a robotic view of nearly the entire SubT course, with each dot in the cloud representing a point in 3D space measured by a sensor on a robot. Team CSIRO’s point cloud differed from DARPA’s official map by less than 1 percent

Risk of colliding with stalactites was the problem, as well colliding and communicating with each other. Don't think the tech is there currently.
