“Khonzi is a born engineer. all the time he thinks of system, design and how to improve on it. He would push us to think out of the box when architecture solutions. As a leader, he is not rigid about one solution; rather he provides multiple options and collaborates with other skate holders. He looks beyond the simple solution to discover the ideal solution. He is someone who prides himself in designing effective solutions that are efficient and easy to use Khonzi was/ is/ will be a valuable asset to any company.”

Seems to simple to be practical but you "why" is what drives you when every bone in your body is saying "STOP"

UNDERGROUND MINE NAVIGATION USING AN INTERGRATED IMU/TOF SYSTEM WITH UNSCENTED KALMAN FILTER
CARs&FOF 2011
Platform pose (localization and orientation) information is a key requirement for autonomous mobile systems. The severe natural conditions and complex terrain of underground mines diminish the capability of most pose estimation systems, especially GPS. Our research interest is focused on using low-cost off-the-shelf IMU to improve the Active Beacon Positioning System (ABPS) developed here at the CSIR. This paper proposes a novel pose estimator, for underground mines, that fuses together data…
Platform pose (localization and orientation) information is a key requirement for autonomous mobile systems. The severe natural conditions and complex terrain of underground mines diminish the capability of most pose estimation systems, especially GPS. Our research interest is focused on using low-cost off-the-shelf IMU to improve the Active Beacon Positioning System (ABPS) developed here at the CSIR. This paper proposes a novel pose estimator, for underground mines, that fuses together data from the ABPS and low-cost MEMS based IMU. This pose estimator uses a square-root unscented Kalman filter (SR-UKF) to fuse the data together. The method is evaluated by building a complete system in a lab.

A LOCALIZATION AND ORIENTATION SYSTEM FOR UNDERGROUND MINING VEHICLES
CARSFOF 2010
Platform pose is a key requirement for autonomous systems. The severe natural conditions and complex terrain of underground mines diminish the performance of classical localization systems. This paper proposes a pose (localization and orientation) estimator that utilizes ultrasonic and electromagnetic signals to facilitate a time-of-flight (TOF) based trilateration. This system decreases maintenance costs by utilizing a wait mode and only operational once a receiver is in the vicinity. The…
Platform pose is a key requirement for autonomous systems. The severe natural conditions and complex terrain of underground mines diminish the performance of classical localization systems. This paper proposes a pose (localization and orientation) estimator that utilizes ultrasonic and electromagnetic signals to facilitate a time-of-flight (TOF) based trilateration. This system decreases maintenance costs by utilizing a wait mode and only operational once a receiver is in the vicinity. The trilateration algorithm utilized is an Ordinary Least Square (OLS) estimator. The pose estimator has two ultrasonic receivers at a fixed separation distance. The two ultrasonic receivers each calculate its unique position. The orientation of the object is obtained from the orientation of a line segment joining the two positions on the object.
