Sandvik is developing technology[1] that also changes the underground operations to automated and/or remotely controlled. Underground navigation technology comes from Navitec Systems [2]. I think they are using laser scanning to provide accurate positioning underground without requiring installation of beacons or cables. Accurate positioning is obviously important since it affects how fast the underground trucks can drive.
