Tactile robotic mapping of unknown surfaces: An application to oil well exploration

World oil demand and advanced oil recovery techniques have made it economically attractive to rehabilitate previously abandoned oil wells. This requires relatively fast mapping of the shape and location of the down-hole well structures. Practical factors prohibit the use of visual and other range se...
