ENGR 450/550 students from the University of Arizona College of Engineering gather around one of two autonomous mining vehicles at the university's San Xavier Mining Laboratory in Southern Arizona. The students successfully reactivated and tested the vehicles for eventual use in underground mines where conditions are too extreme for human workers.
