The Digital Integration Centre of Excellence (DICE) Technology Access Centre at Saskatchewan Polytechnic (SaskPolytech) proposes to perform research focused on the development of the infrastructure and tools necessary to support the autonomous operation of equipment in the Mining, Agricultural and Municipal infrastructure sectors. To support autonomous operation, this project will look at localization, determining the position and orientation of objects, to be used in different contexts such as locating objects in relation to other objects and tracking the location of an object over time. While there are Global Positioning System (GPS) solutions on one's phone for example, these solutions are not ideal for all situations. For example, GPS is not available inside a mine and only provides 2 dimensional coordinates. Using different wireless sensors and investigating the different algorithms and techniques we can use with different sensors to create localization systems specific to each of our Industry Partners. We are looking to apply existing research to use alternate methods for localization such that more situations can be accommodated. This project will assist our partners either by further advancing products meant for commercialization or by creating systems to maintain safety of their employees.

萨斯喀彻温省理工学院（SaskPolytech）的数字集成卓越中心（DICE）技术访问中心建议进行研究，重点是开发支持采矿，农业和市政基础设施部门设备自主运行所需的基础设施和工具。为了支持自主操作，该项目将研究定位，确定对象的位置和方向，用于不同的环境，例如定位对象与其他对象的关系，并跟踪对象随时间的位置。虽然例如在一个人的电话上有全球定位系统（GPS）解决方案，但这些解决方案并不适合所有情况。例如，GPS在矿井内不可用，仅提供二维坐标。使用不同的无线传感器，并研究我们可以与不同传感器一起使用的不同算法和技术，以创建针对每个行业合作伙伴的定位系统。我们希望应用现有的研究，使用替代方法进行本地化，以便可以适应更多的情况。该项目将通过进一步推进商业化产品或创建维护员工安全的系统来帮助我们的合作伙伴。
