Robotics in

mining
By G. Yagna Datta
  Why robotics is important to mining?
 robotics in current mining activities.
Content of the  Advantages of robotics in mining.
presentation  Role of robotics in safety of people mining operations.
 Conclusions.
  Probably robots will transform almost every
industry and service sector, particularly in the
area of mining sector where safety and
efficiency are the main issues.
Why  The application of robotic technology, although
Robotics is very limited in current mining operations around
important to the world, has far reaching potential for the
mining industry.
Mining?  Robotic devices powered by artificial
intelligence can perform a wide range of mining
operations as well as ore sampling and rescuing
trapped miners
  Robotic devices for drilling and bolting mine
roofs for improved stability
robotics in  Underground mine navigation or mapping
current  Machinery automation (e.g., automated load-
mining haul-dump trucks)
 Position estimation
activities.
 Evaluation of mine-specific issues
 High safety and enhanced working conditions for
personnel.
Improved utilization by enabling continuous operation
during shift changes.
Greater productivity as a result of real-time monitoring
Advantages and control of production hauling and landing processes.
Enhanced draw control through precise execution of the
production plan and collecting production data.
Reduced maintenance costs through the smooth
operation of equipment and reduced damage
Lower operation costs through reduced operating labor.
  Robotics play major role in safety of people
who works in mining areas
 There are many ways of safety systems used in
Robotics role mining.
in safety  For example.., alarm detection system before
blasting in the mine.
 In this way robotics and automation play major
role in safety of people in mining.
  Automation and robotics may become a reality
at a number of key underground mines and may
bring many opportunities to improve safety and
efficiency of mining operations both on the
earth and space.
conclusion  Solving the problems of deep underground
metal mining can gives the resource-efficient
production of raw materials.
 Robotics and automation in mining operations
does not eliminate jobs, it shifts the nature of
jobs.
