The magazine's feature story by Carter Haydu explores the growing importance of remote controlled data collection.
According to Blyth Gill, Kingfisher's commercialization manager at Clearpath Robotics, by summer 2014 the unmanned surface vessel will provide topographic information of the bottom of tailings ponds in Northern Alberta.
