Abstract: A system for generating a costmap for use in planning a path through an environment, the system including one or more suitably programmed processing devices configured to obtain a map of the environment, acquire traversal data indicative of an ability to traverse parts of the environment, for each part of the environment, calculate a traversal indicator indicative of the ability to traverse the part, the traversal indicator being calculated in a colour space, and colourise the map using the traversal indicators to thereby generate a colourised costmap indicative of an ability to traverse the environment, the colourised costmap allowing path planning to be performed.

Abstract: An on-line energy dispersive X-ray diffraction (EDXRD) analyser for mineralogical analysis of material in a process stream or a sample is disclosed. The analyser includes a collimated X-ray source to produce a diverging beam of polychromatic X-rays, and an energy resolving X-ray detector, and a substantially X-ray transparent member having the form of a solid of revolution which is circularly symmetric about a central axis between the collimated X-ray source and the energy resolving X-ray detector, an outer surface of the X-ray transparent member positionable adjacent the material to be analysed. A primary beam collimator is disposed adjacent to or within the substantially X-ray transparent member to substantially prevent direct transmission of polychromatic X-rays emitted from the source to the detector.
