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 1^st 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
