In today's digital age, certain occupations are still considered to be as dirty and risky
as ever.
In southwestern China has claimed at least about 23 lives.
One person has been rescued successfully so far.
Mining is a prime example, with miners facing fire, falling rock and entrapment, but this
industry is also evolving.
NASA team is in Bechley for the week testing robots built to aid in mine rescues.
Automation is bringing a new degree of protection to mines and boosting the efficiency with which
we obtain the precious minerals used to make the modern world's trappings,
from cars and buildings to our electronic devices.
Join us in this video as we discuss why robots make miners obsolete.
Drilling and mining bots or robots are automated machines that are used to perform various tasks
in drilling and mining operations. The use of drilling and mining bots is intended to improve
the quality, efficiency and precision of resource extraction.
So in this scenario, I think it is very important for the robots to have the autonomous capability.
Although they don't necessarily replace human roles, they enhance human capabilities and contribute to more sustainable and technologically advanced mining practices.
Robotic technologies play a vital role in improving accuracy, reliability and precision in the fields of drilling and mining.
Here are a few of the main uses and benefits of robotic technologies in these industries.
Autonomous drilling rigs, robotic drilling rigs equipped with advanced sensors and GPS technology
can operate autonomously. They follow predefined patterns or adjust in real time based on
geological data, ensuring precise drilling. Automated drilling systems use robotics and artificial
intelligence to control drilling parameters. These tools can optimize the drilling process by adjusting
speed and depth to suit geological conditions and maximizing resource extraction.
Remote operation, remote controlled mining operations are used in a variety of drilling
and mining activities.
This allows operators to control and monitor equipment from a safe location, minimizing
the chance of being exposed to hazardous conditions.
Autonomous transport systems, autonomous transport trucks, and autonomous transport buses
operate without human drivers.
These vehicles use sensors, cameras and GPS to locate mining sites, transport materials,
and optimize haulage routes.
Material handling robots.
These robots are used for material handling tasks such as loading and unloading or from
trucks and conveyor belts.
These robots improve productivity by automating repetitive and physically demanding tasks.
Underground mining robots are specialized robots used for underground mining operations.
They can navigate through tunnels,
perform sanding or blasting tasks,
and work with materials in tight spaces
where human access is difficult.
Drones for exploration and mapping
are drones equipped with sensors
and cameras used for the exploration.
Photographs, images, videos,
and laser scans into a three-dimensional map
of the world around them as they see.
Mapping and surveying of mining sites.
They provide high-resolution photographs
and gathered data for geological analysis,
aiding in decision making.
