Within the LKAB mine, ore is dumped down slanted mine shafts in order to transport them to further handling %?
These ore shafts should conform to a maximum width of $\SI{3}{\meter}$, but dumped ore can erode the walls of the shaft to unsafe levels.
This erosion must be measured, as it can become a safety and efficiency issue, should it undermine other tunnels.


This report will document the creation of a semi-autonomous drone, equipped to scan the insides of the tunnel and report the findings to a base station.

\subsection{Stakeholders}
    This project was conducted at Luleå University of Technology, in cooperation with Conex AB and LKAB.
    Analysis of their roles in the project is presented in Table~\ref{tab:stakeholder_matrix}.
    This describes each shareholder, the problem they wish to solve, the what each can aid the project with and their interaction with the project.
