Autonomous robots and the Internet of Things in underground mining
The interdisciplinary ESF Junior Research Group ARIDuA is conducting research on the topic “Autonomous robots and the Internet of Things in underground mining” (Autonome Roboter und Internet der Dinge in untertägigen Anlagen). Beginning 1st of July 2017 and running until June 2020, the project is funded by the Free State of Saxony and the European Social Funds (ESF). The current group speaker is Prof. Helmut Mischo, Chair for Underground Mining Methods.
ARIDuA is divided into six work packages where each junior researcher will work on a specialised topic. Five institutes are involved with five professors who are responsible for mentoring the junior researchers.
Project objectives
Identification of the robot's core properties for planned applications
Development of new methods and technologies for smart-mining-environments with IoT infrastructure and determining robot applications
Use of a prototype robot in the research and teaching mine of the TU Bergakademie Freiberg
Investigation of the role of robots in installing, maintaining, rearranging and removing of IoT infrastructure in underground mining
Junior researchers achieving PhD qualifications and completing individual advanced training
Investigation of synergetic effects between robotics and IoT
