About

Mathew Price is a robotics and computer vision researcher whose work has focused on the intersection of autonomous systems, 3D mapping, and mine safety technology. His most notable contributions center on developing intelligent robotic tools capable of navigating and analyzing hazardous underground environments, with a particular emphasis on protecting human lives in mining operations. Price's research has made meaningful strides in thermal imaging and spatial mapping, most notably through his development of an automated 3D thermal mine scanning tool designed to detect loose rock and assess structural risk underground. His work on generating thermally textured 3D maps from robotic platforms represents an innovative fusion of sensor technologies aimed at producing actionable mine safety risk maps. Complementing this, his contributions to point-cloud registration using 3D shape contexts advanced lightweight, descriptor-based methods for aligning range sensor data — a fundamental challenge in autonomous robot mapping. Presented at international venues including the CAD/CAM, Robotics and Factories of the Future Conference (CARs&FOF 2011) in Kuala Lumpur, his papers have collectively garnered around 15 citations, reflecting a focused body of work in an applied, safety-critical domain that bridges robotics sensing, computer vision, and real-world industrial challenges.
